compatible with the version
("seamonkey-mozilla-build_2.29.1-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb 2014-09-27")
of Seamonkey that I installed.
I had clicked on the link for the dictionary immediately below the one
on the same line as the text "British English"
"
English (British) English (British)
Install Dictionary (235.3 kB)
Install Dictionary (257.0 kB)
"
- the 235.3kb one produced the incompatibility error
and the second one had appeared to be USA english.
I will try again with the 257kb one, the next time I boot up the
particular computer.
"Australian English" is like Danny de Vito referred to "Military
Intelligence" in a movie in which he starred (I do not remember the name
of the movie - it may have been "Military Intelligence" - I do not
know); an oxymoron.
Whatever I may think of the british, I regard British English (as in the
Oxford English Dictionary English), as the true English language (and
spelling), and so I prefer to use a british english dictionary for
spellchecking, where I can perform automated spellchecking (I haven't
yet managed to get it set up in PINE or ALPINE).
Bret, your sig delimiter is wrong, it should be dash dash space, not
whatever it is now!!
And what's wrong with using the Australian Dictionary, if you are an
Australian??
Additionally, I seem to recall that there was a problem with "checking
spelling as you type" some time ago, and the recommendation was to only
use "check spelling prior to sending" or whatever it's called. Don't
know if this still applies or if this is what you use.
