Yes, all it takes is for a user to request guidance about something they
don't yet understand. So you have taken the first step ;)

A little clarification for you, OOo (OpenOffice.org) is not a company
and as as a volunteer support group we are not phased by people
threatening to increase any commercial company's revenue. What you elect
to install on your computer is your choice.

Your presumption is incorrect. OOo supports several flavours of English,
including UK.

Take a look at the "Setting Up Writer Guide" Chapter 2 - Page 18
http://documentation.openoffice.org/manuals/oooauthors2/0202WG-SettingUpWriter.pdf
(766.24Kb download).

If you are still unable to configure OOo for UK English, please post
back to [email protected] giving details of your operating system &
version, OOo version used and what steps you have taken. Most of us are
happy to offer assistance in response to a polite request.

Thousands of users (individuals and business) would disagree with you
about this. One of OOo's (OpenOffice.org) strengths (and there are many)
is it's language capabilities.

Hope this helps.
