Marketing bollocks, buzzword bingo, or your mum saying "fudge" when she really wants to swear like a trooper. Let's ride the hockey stick curve of this top hat product, solutioneers.
Thanks to simbosan for the idea

The British English translation of Opera is a bit odd.
It translates "dialog" to "dialogue" (in the context of a pop-up window, which generally takes the American spelling as with most computing words). More bizarre is the translation of "kick" to "expel" in its IRC client.
Changing the dictionary for spell checking is easy enough, at least - right click, Dictionaries, Add/Remove Dictionaries. Why it doesn't use the British English dictionary by default when using the British English version of the browser is a mystery to me.
