A spell-checker is precisely that. It does not set the time.

If you click on "options" then bring the drop down menu on "applications" you can with ease and a decent cuppa, transfer the American spelling of color to colour, labor to labour, meter, to metre, jewelry to jewellery, organization to organisation, Bush to Blair, Friends to Coronation Street, kerb to curb, fetus to foetus, traveler to traveller and the Stars and Stripes to The Twelve Stars. You cannot change apples to oranges, satsumas to tangerines, Granny Smiths to French Golden Delicious (on special offer at Asda), Ozzy Osbourne to Kelly Osbourne, Tom Clancy to Ken Follett BUT you may be able to change diaper to nappy, sidewalk to pavement, elevator to escalator, talk with to talk to, "Hey you guys" to "Hello Old Fruit", ass to **** and blotting paper to toilet paper (rest room ??)
