MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
Why does every word I type have a red wriggly line under it! It only happens on forums, weird! Tried typing in word to check if it continued but all was fine, also ran my virus checkers and nothing came up all clear??? Any idea’s folks.
It's a spellchecker. It means you type like a gimp.
Coincidentally, I spotted about half an hour ago that Firefox seems to be defaulting to US English. Just installed a UK dictionary to sort it out.

(Right-click in the text box and go into 'languages' to change it after installation)
Spell check off in Word?
You're using a web-browser with a Finnish spell-checker?
I have checked my language settings in my browser (Google Chrome) all set to English (united kingdom)Spell check is on!
Had to fire up Chrome to check.
Right click the text box, go to "spell checker options" and make sure it's set to UK.
Wait - did you say -all- words are underlined?
Yes Cougar every word I type has a red line as though its spelt wrong.
Sounds like the dictionary's corrupt, then.
Try going to %appdata%/Local/Google/Chrome/Application/Dictionaries/ and deleting the file en-GB-1-1.bdic , then rebooting.
(%appdata% is a system variable, it should resolve to the correct directory whether you're on XP or Vista / W7.)
reinstalled my browser problem now fixed, thanks!
