How do I Remove US Dictionary from MS applications.

Defaulting from this dictionary does not always work; it always comes back
and is so annoying, particularly as there is no such thing as US English in
the first place.

I ain't fer sure but I believed that it were US English they learnt us when
I were bein schooled with the other chillen when I was youngster :).

English.

You really should get out more.. there are variations of English spoken all
over the world.. US and Aussie English are accepted variations of the basic
language with their own grammar, spelling, and terminology.. they have their
own dictionaries, and do not rely on the bastion of all English
dictionaries, The Oxford English Dictionary..

http://www.geocities.com/Broadway/1906/dialects.html .. US English dialects
across the states

http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/collections/dialects/.. one or two
recordings of Brit dialects

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_English.. here, you will see that there
is English English, Scottish English and Welsh English

http://www.ku.edu/~idea/.. recordings of English speakers from all over


The only country where English English is spoken is England, and I know of a
good few regions where you would not understand a word said by locals..
towns and cities just five miles apart can have stunning differences in the
way people talk, and you would wonder how they co-exist in such a small
area..

Ever been to York? Calling that English certifies that you have been
smokin' something you really shouldn't have.

Egads, the memories come flooding back, after having taken the ferry from
heck from Sweden across the North Sea in June and then arriving, cursing,
wet and sick, only to find the train to London is filled with people who you
think are speaking English but you are not really sure. Wonderful
memories - and thank goodness they are only memories now.

Milly

Your life was no doubt enriched by the experience.. apart from the North Sea
part.. rotflmao.. it has a reputation for bringing down accomplished
sailors, let alone 'land lubbers'.. makes you realize how tough the Vikings
were as they set sail in the search for bounty and the chance of a good
'pillage'.. having said that, I doubt whether history would record that they
also suffered extreme sickness during the crossing.. it kinda takes away
from the 'tough guy' image that we all associate with Norsemen..
