I spell it "catalogue" no red line please
Ok, America has logical spelling, we've got metric, they've got spelling . Fine, but I get so annoyed when software tells me I've spelt "catalogue" wrong. I mean I'm not a good speller at the best of times, when I get a word like "catalogue" right first time it should congratulate me (imagine -- ding, ding, nice spelling! --) not put a little red line underneath it. And all this in spite of adding the NZ, Aussie and UK dictionaries!
This is an ongoing problem with all software! I guess what I can't work out is whether it's ignorance , callous disregard on behalf of the developers or a conspiracy by the printers of the Miriam- Webster Dictionary!!

I actually have that problem too. Sometimes word auto corrects when I am typing a quote from a british-written book, or in french.
Maybe you should select the 'US English' dictionary in a bold attempt to out wit the logic of IT software designers? There must be about 100 million American computer users who get the red line every time they try to spell 'catalog'..
you sure you have selected the english version after you downloaded it.
when you download it it may not necessarily become the default selection.
