more pitfalls

how to I get my Word spell checker to stay in US English?

This fic I'm beta reading was written with a version of Word from Ireland, so the spell checker/dictionary that's coming up is using English from Ireland. My Hawaiian words, contractions and slang words are coming up as wrong. It's also saying the grammar is wrong as well.

Anyone know how to fix this?

eta: got it sorted. yay

It is saying the grammar is wrong? That's is weird! I have my word set to US english (too lazy to change it) and it picks up on my realising and recognising etc. I assume I write like a British person but it never says my grammar is wrong! Even when it (often) is...

yeah, I don't know what was going on, but it's back to US spelling of stuff and it's making my work a whole lot easier.
