Queen's English (enGB)
 
http://www.wowinterface.com/download...glishenGB.html

Queen's English is an addon designed to give your WoW experience a British/Canadian/Australian feel. It won't have your American guildies sounding like Her Majesty, but will "correct" common American spellings to their British equivalents in your chat frames. Indulge your inner spelling pedant :)

I downloaded and installed as soon as you put it up and I approved it. Yay for things being spelled correctly!

Nice mod :).

I made something a while ago which would change all the global strings to queens english, but I never got round to making it change all fonstrings using those globals, I think I may have to have another go.

I'm an American who can agree with this. I read a lot of books that are very old (I like classics and obscure readings). I get a headache every time my spellcheck flags a "misspelled" word. Anyone know of a spellcheck that works for both enGB and enUS?

My behaviour is flagged incorrect because it isn't an American flavour. :(

There's potential for good comedy here...
I maintain my guild addon pack, next April 1st I think I know what to do :
Step 1 : embed addon in something like Omen
Step 2 : change dictionary to get yep, yeah, yes -> no and so forth
Step 3 : profit

Hmmm... a bit too much like a trojan horse which would give both me and Omen bad Warcraft Community rep even if it seems a funny idea. An opt-in version that only triggered on April Fools Day could be funny: ok -> yessir! and that kind of thing. Changing the meaning of phrases without the users' consent might even be against the TOS (though as I take 0.75 seconds to read them each patch time I wouldn't really know).

Hmmm... I don't think many platforms would be interested in allowing two versions at once because it would allow inconsistency. But there are worse things than seeing little underlines under one's exotic spellings- for an Australian they're part of the scenery, along with proper nouns and slang.
