It's not very accurate.

It doesn't like these words:

Microslut
plugin
remoted


I'll edit when I find more....i have to keep adding them to the dictionary cause it keeps underlining real words.

I come across red line words all the time, like colour , or behaviour, or neighbour.
In Canada these words are correct.
There are many more.
What is really annoying is that if I use the spell check versions, they come up as misspelled when I have school work to hand in, and as a result I Iose marks for spelling.

You CAN download dictionary's... I'm using the English (Canadian) one, and colour isn't highlighted but color is.

Well I just installed the English US dictionary....it still reports my previous words as misspelled...but I'll see if it makes a difference for anything else.

Ya, I'm pretty sure that's what it defaults as if you download the English version.
