Yeah it's *Oxford* spelling. This is the "Oxford English Spellchecker".
Do these two go to the store and complain that the Gala apples they bought are not Pink Lady? - Arvioitu 5/5kirjoittanut Ben SALT.id, 24 päivää sitten

lähetetty yhdeksän kuukautta sittenHi, thanks for your review. This addon isn't and never was a British English spellchecker as you seem to have thought, but for Oxford spelling, a variant of British English which uses -ize endings instead of -ise. You will notice that it does recommend spellings like 'travelled' over 'traveled' and 'manoeuvre' over 'maneuver'. It also should be noted that the suffix ‑ize has been in use in the UK since the 15th century, and only in recent years, with the rise of -ise spellings, has come to be seen as an Americanism.

For a British English spellchecker, I recommend this one: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/british-english-dictionary-2/ - Arvioitu 5/5kirjoittanut Johnny Hash, vuosi sitten
- Arvioitu 1/5kirjoittanut Firefox-käyttäjä 14176932, vuosi sittenDoesn't correctly spell check BRITISH English - e.g. it tries to correct disorganised to disorganized and many more US spellings. I'm terrible at spelling but that was the last straw. Even I knew it was wrong and I will be disinstalling this spell checker as soon as I've done this review. It's really unhelpful!
