Then it must be your choice of spelling options. I use the as you go spell checker but havin used previous versions' spell checker I think you can insert words of your own to perhaps counteract Thunderbird's way of spelling. If you insert catalogue then it might accept two versions, without or with the ue. re is another English way of spelling what Americans spell as er -metre, centre, etc.

hi Jim,
No that does not work
My Thunderbird spell checker language is set to English united states and that is the only spell checking language in that combo box.
Thanks for your help anyway
Re: [JAWS-Users] spell checker in Thunderbird
I think that the language Thunderbird selected for you might have been British English. Alt T to Tools, then S to Account Settings. Arrow down to Composition and Addressing. Tab along the bar until you reach Global Composing Preferences. You'll have 3 general choices. Control tab to Spelling and look at what language preference tells you. Select English U.S. (that's the default in my system anyway). Hopethis works.

Anna, as I understand it, c a t a l o g u e is the old way of spelling the word, and the modern way is c a t a l o g.

I would also like to know how to change/prevent this from happening again, if there is a way because I run across this problem and other gripes with TB's
spell checker. it would be nice to control it's features.

Has any one on the list come across this problem with the spell checker
in Thunderbird.
My problem is:  when I type certain words and then check them with the
spell checker in Thunderbird it says they are spelled wrong when in fact
they are spelled right for example
catalogue it is spelled right but the spell checker is saying that it is
spelled wrong . the spell checker is spelling it this way catalog
without the ue at the end.
how can I fix this so that it is right.
thanks in advance
