The dictionary on my PC is set to English (Australian).
What annoys me is American software that won’t allow one to change the date format from the US MM/DD/YY. Why can’t the software be allowed to follow the user’s OS settings?

As for spell checkers, there their they're, anyone? No red lines under those. Then there are the so called grammar checks.... Sure, it's nice to know if my muscle memory has typed it's when it should be its, but mostly the grammar could be bettered by a reasonably well schooled ten year old.
I'd better put the breaks on before I brake something. See what I did there? I broke to a stop.
