Make America Great Again

Just curious why the forum is suddenly suggesting spelling suggestions in traditional English (European) instead of American English? Maybe it's not new, but I just started noticing it.

Examples:
Favorite is highlighted and suggests "favourite" instead
Catalog is highlighted and suggests "catalogue" instead

It doesn't hurt anything and I'm not really complaining; I'm just curious if it's the forum software or a MicroSloth thing.

Thanks!

It's not the forum software.
There are browser settings for the language to control the spellcheck.

Yep, it's a you issue, not a forum issue.

You likely have either your Windows language setting or your browser language setting set to English (United Kingdom) instead of English (United States).
