You would think that at 10.7.3 of the core os of the largest tech company in the world, when they advertise language support for international languages they would add spell checking too said languages? Right? Wrong.
Well, sure they added spell check for most of them. Right? Wrong. Did they add spell check for any of them? No, they didn't.
But look at this finally the whole of the uk on 10.7.3 os x vista gets a british engish module for dictionary.app!!!!!! Yupppy!!! How very generous and gracious of apple to allow for a another dictionary module other than american english.
We are all in the uk so very much indebted to them, the gratitude they are showing to their customers for saving them off the brink of bankruptcy.
peace. blow.
