Hi all,

I'm running the OS 3.0 GM and have spotted a bug. So for all you developers out there, torrenters and potential upgraders using the English (UK) language you might be interested in this.

It's to do with the spellchecker in that in OS 2 when you type the words 'Helll' or 'Hell' even or 'Welll' it will correct the word to 'He'll' or 'We'll'. I never usually minded because I rarely typed 'hell' into a sentence.

However, in OS 3.0 it doesn't do this unfortunately. It won't even correct you at all. In fact typing 'Helll' re-corrects you to 'Hellman'.

This is unfortunately just a bug with the English (UK) keyboard language and in order to resolve this you'll have to go to Settings -> Keyboard and turn off English (UK) and use just the top English. Which I'll assume is for American English.. Enabling two keyboards doesn't resolve it either.

Small issue, which I'll submit to Apple for consideration that they may never read, but it was driving me crazy today when typing!

I shouldn't need to tell you the obvious downside, but you'll be typing 'Realize' instead of the way the English language intended..
