must have missed details of the book you're all talking about, please would you mind repeating for those at the back who weren't concentrating ?

Same here, I've sort of read bits on various threads, but its passed me by a bit, but have to agree with el about americanisations, they do tend to annoy me. In fact no matter what I do, this site reverts to american spell checker, and is now complaining because I haven't put capital A.

I couldn't give up my tv license, even though I watch very little TV, but maybe its precisely because I am selective about what I watch that it doesn't bother me. Visiting Mum, and one of the things that bothers her, is that she's missed out on her soaps and house makeover programmes. But then she doesn't have to pay for a TV license any more either.

To be fair, it is a proper noun. Add it to your dictionary if that bothers you.

Or if it is a Mac you can choose british English or American english

Firefox, and on most sites its fine, but on here it tries to convert my spelling.

America is a proper noun, it's the name of somewhere or other, but I refuse to put americanisation in my dictionary that implies I want to use the word.

I think I've spent too much time with my friends children! We have enough of a language barrier with teenagers, without them speaking a different version of English.

I am one of those odd people, who, when I do use text messaging, refuse to use abbreviations. As near as possible, proper sentences!

I do that as well. I've even used colons in SMS, which for those that don't even use vowels is shocking.

In Firefox, goto Tools menu, Options, the Content tab, then "Choose..." under languages. Make sure you're en-gb.

KC is back :T Sounds like the break did you wonders. I am another who will follow the changes you make due to the book. I am a procrastinator and I really don't have enough time to waste at the moment so any tips will b a big help.

Send me the model and serial number of your laptop and the printer by PM and I'll check out and hopefully find a link for the download. there should be one as many of the netbooks and even my half size laptop don't have disk drives.

You should be able to get a driver for your printer KC, even if its just a generic one that works with most. That's what I've had to do with my netbook, load a generic HP driver rather than the one specially for my printer.

Welcome back KC, sounds like you had an amazing time away DD and I have done some exploring this weekend thanks to MrA taking us to a few "new" places for a picnic and walk (well, we walked, he basked in the sunshine).

You sound so refreshed and reenergised by your trip away, and sounds like you're taking lots of positive steps
