martin_sam_2000 Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 I'm surprised to see British software! Does it accept Tea and lemon? :) Its not just british. Almost everyone outside the U.S. spells it like that. same as neighbour, realise, light, cheque, favourite, sabre...etc. almost all of those are marked as miss-spelled by google chrome also.
