[Air-l] Microsoft Word Spelling and Grammar Check- correct version.

[Ylva Hard af Segerstad]

Hi all !

I tried the spelling check in Pages from Apple. Pages doesn't seem to 
have grammar check, but it sweetly suggested "Mc Donnell's" instead of 
"McDonalds"...

Incidently, the software has the following interesting choices for 
English as a language to check: Australian English, British English, 
Canadian English and English... Talk about bias!
