Google Toolbar Reckons I Need English Lessons

3 comments

After re-factoring the templates that generate this site I was randomly flicking through some pages just to make sure everything was working as intended. (I’m glad to say it is – in that nothing looks different). While on this page I accidentally clicked the spellcheck button that’s part of Google Toolbar and was presented with the following message:

So now I can't even do English proper!

It reads: “The default language you have selected for spellchecking is English, but your text looks like it might be Portuguese. Would you like to change the language to Portuguese?”. The nerve!

    Murdats: I know, I still prefer calling her my ‘good lady’ though. Covers all bases if we split up in the future and saves me doing a search-and-replace through old posts. Don’t tell her I said that! 😉
