And all Microsoft programs have automatic American English spell check.

Oops, looking at the graph again I see I misread it. My bad.

Yes, but that is the case in the last graph. A girl is either single, or she isn’t.

So do we, 99.9% of the time. Spingor is just being, well, pedantic.

As was stated previously: it’s a British author using a British colloquialism; we refer to the function as “Spell Check”.

Mine has a button that switches between the two. So does your computer and i guess that the OP’s computer has a similar function.

actually, when describing different situations, probabilities do not sum to 100%
Only when describing one situation with multiple possible outcomes the odds sum up to a 100%

Makes sense to me. Probabilities should sum to 100%, so perfect for a pie chart.

You clearly don’t read the comments here very often.

Hey it’s not as bad as the last graph. Who uses a pie graph to illustrate probability? Srsly.

To be even more pedantic, this should really be a line graph.

By: Spingor

Spingor — Sun, 09 Nov 2008 03:20:08 +0000

And if you REALLY want to get pedantic, it’s a spelling checker. Unless you’re a magician, witch, or other magic-type person, you have no need for a spell checker.

you just don’t measure in meters, meters, meters, oh, I think I’ll use “half an inch” for the last measurement…so, measurement fail. Also, so must not be a brit.

And since when did GraphJam care about actual reality as opposed to perceived reality?

Also, people in England mix imperial and metric freely. We drive miles, but measure walkable distances usually in metres. We weigh food in kilos, but ourselves in stone, small distances are usually referred to in inches, really small ones in millimetres. We have no consistency in our units.

I’m a British user using a British computer, but there’s no way to get Pages to default to the British English dictionary for spell check. You can change it on a document by document basis, but not permanently. One of those fun “Apple knows best” moments. I was in a rush and not paying attention, so I didn’t notice it when I submitted it. Was immediately obvious as soon as I saw it posted, though

Either the user is British and using an American computer or the user is a pretentious American using British spelling for no reason. A British computer would know British spelling.

no, it’s that underline that offers you to convert meters to feet.

By: Alcar

Alcar — Sat, 08 Nov 2008 19:16:55 +0000

Hmm, that means you can never answer the phone, seeing how it stops ringing in 100% of the cases when you’re about to grab it…

By: Alcar

Alcar — Sat, 08 Nov 2008 19:15:47 +0000

Still, the red underline is kind of obvious.
