I'm only grateful there wasn't a pole for her dance around nearby, the results could have been blindness inducing.
Hey, she reminded me of Jo Brand - is she still going over there? Loved her dry humor.

As in - if you do that, you'll go blind???
Jo pops up often on QI. I wouldn't describe her humour there as"dry"....crude, rude and funny.
Her "Getting On" series about the hospital, in which she starred as a smoking, slovenly remarkably uncaring and direct nurse, had us rolling with laughter weekly. The humour in that was pretty dry.
BEN: is there a way for me to switch off spell check please? I may not know my dialects and colloquialisms for specific locations, like "rural England", as a random example(!!) but I am constantly being red underlined for not using American spellings.
I didn't think there was a spellchecker built into the forum. I haven't got one and can't see one in the settings. Are you sure it's not a browser add-on that's annoying you, Mike?
Jo Brand was superb in 'Getting On'. It was very subtle humour and she played her deadpan character perfectly. My favourite was the lady doctor, Dr Pippa Moore. She was hilarious

Hi Mike,
As Ian says, its not the forum, but your web browser or OS. I know windows phone does it, as does Windows 8 and possibly IE10 on Win 7. Just switch it off in your browser options, or set it to English - Australian

As others have said it's not the forum but your browser being set to American English.
If you are using Firefox you can download dictionary plug-ins for numerous flavours of English.
