doesn't even cover all of the US provide you with UK English?

I found UK English in IE and Firefox, but the Earthlink webmail is US
English only, or so it seems. Guess I'll have to keep the Concise OED handy

The only ones who are "forced" to use American English are those who
don't read all the instructions. <http://support.microsoft.com/kb/118507>

Of course! I would love to have an Oxford English spell checker. I
keep getting error underlining when I use "realise" instead of
"realize". Another example of Microsoft forcing American culture

Speaking of which, I'm working on a rant about a significant omission
in American culture.
