You and your impossible-to-change default dictionary. I spell with UK spellings, okay? And I know you have an English (UK) dictionary, because you make me select it every time you flag a word spelled properly in British English as being spelled wrong in American English. So why can't I set that as my default dictionary? I know you have that option. I know because I've tried it. Three times I've tried it. I've muddled with the settings over and over and I've restarted OpenOffice at least twice now and you still won't change from that damned English (US) default dictionary.

And I've learned that I can't leave the red lines off, because then I end up with typos like cannnot and manange and things like that. But I can't leave them on, because, between my fanfiction vocabulary and my British spellings, there are red lines all over the document.

But OpenOffice, this time you've won. I've given up on trying to change your default dictionary; I just can't figure it out. It's too complicated and I'm tired of fighting with it.

So I'll just add all my British spellings to the default user dictionary, instead.
