For those like me that use Safari as an alternative to Internet Explorer (let’s face it there are times when this is necessary) and have got used to the fact that it’s spell checker runs as you type may sometimes get annoyed with the fact that by default it uses American English.

However you’ll also be glad to know there is an easy way to change this:

  • Open up a text box in the web (google or whatever) type a word incorrectly. Right click the word.
  • Choose “Spelling and Grammar” then “Show Spelling and Grammar”.
  • Now choose your language from the drop down box.
