unrelated, maybe, but I have been using OpenOffice 'Writer' recently, in preference to Microsoft 'Word', I have the dictionary set to 'UK English' and it correctly highlights 'color' as wrong, but still accepts both 'realise' and 'realize' - go figure

You'll probably find a few American spellings allowed by the UK dictionaries - they were probably compiled by Americans.
