I find it very strange. I checked other old British
translations, and they used "grey." The KJV spellsl other
words like "odour" and "favour" in the English way.

I get the wiggly lines under "grey." LOL At least you know
the spell check is working.

Do you mean in accessing the KJV on the internet? I remember
as a child asking my Mother why some words were spelled wrong in
the Bible. Patient soul that she was, she explained it to me.
Our Bibles had British spellings.
Or do you mean I chose some American option here? If anyone did
that, perhaps you did. After all, you chose the "Independence
Day" theme with the red, white and blue droopy things -- what
are those droopy things called?

I can set my own spell check for USA or English. On Trevor's
early sites years ago...I am sure he had "spell check" down
there next to post and preview...that's the one I used to use.
The one I have on my computer will tell me it is wrong...but not
always tell me the right spelling. It gives me a choice of three
words, often none of them are what I was trying to say!! That's
why I can't use 'posh' or long words...I have to stick to
brainless and short words. ( if truth be known, even half of
them I can't spell correctly the older I get, I am beginning to
forget....not that I could ever spell well.) I remember
watching my old mum writing a letter to her sister...she wrote "
It is such an effort...ephtort ephourt then back to effort
again. Sad.
Now I see it in my self!! LOL :-\ ::) :o :'(

Helen I use the browser Firfox and its own spell check that you
have to add on. It works well for me and if at times it does
not give the word I am trying to spell I just mess with it a
bit, like change the y for an i that sort of thing and it
usually works.
I also have a 'Franklin Wordmaster' that's a thing about the
size of one of those small pocket calculators, one just puts in
the spelling and it comes up with a list of around seven
possible answers. One can even put in three letters and six
dashes and it will give a list of what words you might need.
If both those fail then like you I change the word for an easy
one.

The option exists to make spell check part of the forum's
software; but something else has to be installed first, and I
get the message that the server does not support it.

My spell check works fine using Firefox and the English plug in.
By the way the plug in is English, English with grey.
