Quote:Are you sure you grabbed the right localization? I would expect the spellchecker to be pre-trained for British spelling in the Canadian and British locales. Is "favorite" (sans u) an acceptable spelling in Canada, or only favourite? If favorite is not acceptable, is your installation of Firefox accepting it?
As far as I can tell, there is no English Canadian localization, just en-US or en-GB. I suppose I could go ahead and install the en-GB build, but I kind of like correcting my computer when it comes to spelling. It's not a big deal to me.
"Favorite" is not officially accepted in Canada, though it's widely-used and understood. School teachers hate it. That spelling is reserved for the US and will earn you a slap on the hand with a frozen caribou.
My installation accepted (before I corrected it) "favorite", but not "favourite". Now it accepts both.
