How do I switch your spellchecker off, or at least switch it to English and not American. I am British, I live in Britain and your application telling me, repeatedly, that my spellings are incorrect, when they are not, is offensive.

Maybe this is the same issue, maybe not. My native language is English, and I also write Spanish and Greek. I've found how to install the Spanish and Greek dictionaries, but how do I switch between them? I can't find it in Options, and the FF knowledge base doesn't seem to have that information.

Rhoderick, if you prefer to turn the spell checker off, go to Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> General -> Browsing, and uncheck "Check my spelling as I type."
