Can I have spellcheck in seamonkey while using news groups?how?

Yes.  Turn it on with Edit-Preferences-Appearance-Spelling check boxes
and settings as appropriate.  There should be a spell icon on the
Compose toolbar and an option on the compose window under Edit-Check
Spelling.

Thanks

I just discovered that I had no dictionary, then discovered that english
is not available in 2.17.1 only American so I downloaded that so if it
works I will still have to contend with correcting American manually.

Apparently I can teach it to accept English but none of these spell
checkers seem to allow you to remove the incorrect American spelling,
they will only allow both.

Please stop insulting us by writing as if American were not English or
as if it were "incorrect." If you prefer some other variety, the
available dictionaries include:

English (Australian)
English (British)
English (Canadian)
English (US)

Note that they are all called "English." And English IS available in
2.17.1, in fact, English (US) is the default. Just a different variety
of English from the one you like.

It would be ideal if we could install our preferred dictionaries and
remove those we don't like, but I don't see any way to uninstall or
temporarily disable the default dictionary. I can only do that with
secondary dictionaries such as English (British).

If you must have British only, I suggest you uninstall the American
version of SeaMonkey, go here
<http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/>, and download and install
the British version. Then English (British) will be your permanent,
unremovable default dictionary and any others you add will be secondary.
That should put an end to the whingeing.

I did not realize that there was a British version.
And the one I installed (prompted from pop up that I should)did not install any dictionary, default or no.
