I speak English (UK!!!!!!!!!!)

[rauk72]

Why does everything in Office (particularly Outlook) have to keep defaulting
to 'US' English.

I am from the UK, where we spell words properly. No matter how hard you try
to change the defaults, not longer after, the automatic spell checker kicks
in and everything ends in 'ize' instead of 'ise'.

There are people how use your products who are not from America.

Either learn to spell or make it easier for us not to have our work
constantly updated into 'US' English ...

I too use UK English but am a little more polite that you! Many US spellings
reflect older UK usage.

This Google search will give you lots of info
http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&s...h++specify+OR+setting+"mvp"&btnG=Search&meta=

By the way, many UK publishing house now use -ize !

My gripe with MS is that the Canadian English setting lets you use 'colour'
and 'color' in the same document!

Firstly what makes you think that in the UK words are spelt properly?
English is a living language and its usuage is changing all the time. There
is no 'proper' spelling only alternatives.
Secondly when you run the spell checker can't you distinguish between the US
and UK spelling of a particular word? If you can't why do you have a
problem?.
