I mean that "en" is insufficiently specific to spell-check: you need at least "en-us", "en-ca", "en-gb", "en-au", and possibly others.

And for all pluricentric languages whether macro- or not. -- John Cowan <cowan at ccil.org> http://www.ccil.org/~cowan One time I called in to the central system and started working on a big thick 'sed' and 'awk' heavy duty data bashing script. One of the geologists came by, looked over my shoulder and said 'Oh, that happens to me too. Try hanging up and phoning in again.' --Beverly Erlebacher _______________________________________________ Ltru mailing list Ltru at ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ltru
