It was something ( on the sarcastic side) ,my son spotted .
Problem .is that unless you spot it , some MS programs default the spell checker to english (usa) . I notice on some versions of Windows ,there's several versions of English listed .And as for txt spk- it's useful when you need/want to send a message,but are limited in characters ,so why do it on a forum ?
