   It's the same setting order in my even more stone age version (45.0).   
   (I prefer the earlier version because I can turn off updates since it   
   works well and all I need and use it for is Usenet.)

   Mine is also set to 'English/United States'.   
      
   I tried typing 'grayscale' again and I still get the wavy red   
   misspelling underline. When I right click the suggestions are: gray   
   scale, gray-scale, and graceless. (Perhaps the last suggestion best fits   
   me...) Anyway I just clicked the 'Add to Dictionary' line and problem   
   solved...

   Mine has Australian, British, Canadian, New Zealand, and US dictionaries   
   for download. Whew, English is sure complicated, huh...

   My grandparents on my dad's side spoke fluent German. When they wanted   
   to discuss something not for my ears they switched to it. Unfortunately   
   I never picked it up. But I do remember Godzunetiet and dunkershane...
