[QUOTE="MBP17•David, post: 1597170, member: 320225"] Actually, that's not entirely correct: I have a very similar issue, also since second Mavericks update or thereabouts ... Spell checker in Mail, Safari, Calendar, Contacts, iPhoto, Notes, Reminders refuses to use British English and insists on zeds and such like :P No problem in any of non-Apple apps - OpenOffice, Photoshop, etc. I have even gone and added British English as a default system language (something I have never had to do before - specifying a correct dictionary was always sufficient), and removed US English dictionaries altogether - nope, the problem still here. My situation is, perhaps, complicated by the fact that, I have US keyboard MBP, but then again, it was never a problem in the last four years: US keyboard; UK regional settings; British English dictionary. Perfect... well, it was. It is a minor irritation, but one nonetheless. Oh, and I do know how to set regional preferences, etc correctly ;D I went from this: [IMG]http://i1371.photobucket.com/albums/ag317/macforums-david/ScreenShot2014-06-29at175442_zps767a296e.png~original[/IMG] to this: [IMG]http://i1371.photobucket.com/albums/ag317/macforums-david/ScreenShot2014-06-29at222922_zps8fe3339d.png~original[/IMG] That didn't help, then I deleted the US dictionaries (I did keep Apple one, but it is not wise to remove it): [IMG]http://i1371.photobucket.com/albums/ag317/macforums-david/ScreenShot2014-06-29at190518_zpsbb1d3111.png~original[/IMG] Like I said, settings are correct: [IMG]http://i1371.photobucket.com/albums/ag317/macforums-david/ScreenShot2014-06-29at175419_zps0d751e27.png~original[/IMG] But, I still get British spelling underlined as misspelled: [IMG]http://i1371.photobucket.com/albums/ag317/macforums-david/ScreenShot2014-06-29at223523_zps5047ccd3.png~original[/IMG] Even though, calling up any of the dictionaries clearly displays the British version as the main one: [IMG]http://i1371.photobucket.com/albums/ag317/macforums-david/ScreenShot2014-06-29at223506_zps7d76c916.png~original[/IMG] [IMG]http://i1371.photobucket.com/albums/ag317/macforums-david/ScreenShot2014-06-29at223640_zpsc228b9ca.png~original[/IMG] Puzzling ...
