How come if I'm composing a message on this board, it's telling me I'm spelling words wrong like colour and favourite, but not if I spell them color and favorite? I thought this was the UK..... oh look it's in the title uktvfood. Whoever runs the message boards must think it's usatvfood.

probably because the soft ware is American and the computer is programmed with American spelling even if they aren't proper English words. They can't say Eyeran! (Iran)or Eyeraq!Iraq)

By the way sesley, I wasn't being sarky - I just thought the 'Eye' bit was funny.

It has many applications, such as the Eyeful Tower., EyeTV., and even the: Eyeconic Great British Menu!

You're probably right about the software, but I would think it has an English-UK setting that may have been missed

I'm confused by this, because as far as I know, this site doesn't have a spellchecker and never has.
