Sigh.&nbsp; Life sucks when you're a mutant (or mutated by something you played with) and can't do what you spent a large part of your life training to do. &nbsp;<br />

                <![CDATA[I will give Ry a reluctant pass.&nbsp; When you have to spell things like '(6aR,9R)- N,N- diethyl- 7-methyl- 4,6,6a,7,8,9- hexahydroindolo- [4,3-fg] quinoline- 9-carboxamide' correctly your brain gets too full to deal with petty little details like readability of your reports or whether you spilled some on page 6 which is conspicuously missing after being reviewed.<br />
<br />
BillT should know better though given his h4x0r skills which probably include pouring the sand out before booting.<br />
<br />
Before those country specific dictionaries the colour and flavour of your English was decidedly non English.<br />]]>

Don't need Serbo-Croat.&nbsp; I can foul up English just fine. (And, man, you should see what recipients of letters I sent to Japan in Kanji and hurigana had to deal with.&nbsp; Oi vey.)&nbsp; ;)<br />

                <![CDATA[What I think is interesting (for us Firefox users anyway) is that there are country-specific dictionaries. For example, the Canadian pack (so I'm told) flags &quot;color&quot; as wrong, but not &quot;colour,&quot; and so on.<br />
<br />
Maybe Ry has the Serbo-Croatian pack installed... :)<br />
