Want your OS X spellchecker to use Australian English?

// December 8th, 2009 // Other news


For as long as I can remember, I’ve ignored the spell-checker used by most word processing apps in OS X because I haven’t been able to get them to switch from US English (if you can call that “English”) to AU English (”strine, mate”).

Today, it finally drove me batty enough to find a solution. It was difficult to describe in a blog post so I’ve knocked together this quick little screencast. It’s really a tiny little tip, but hey, if it helps just one person, it’s enough, right?

So sit back, put your feet up, steal the super-sized bucket of popcorn from the person next to you, and be entertained while you learn…
