About this Add-on
English is one of the world's global languages, widely used as a lingua franca. But most English spellcheckers are tailored to a particular region, such as Canada, the UK or the US. What if you need to use names from outside one region? Whichever spellchecker you choose, you'll get you'll get red underlines all over your text, or worse still, comical or offensive miscorrections.
en-global is designed to solve this problem. It's an English spellchecker with support for global placenames and personal names. This opens the user to the rich and dynamic English-language vocabulary used the world over. So wherever you are, you can use the words that suit you best.
Also supported are different spelling rules. Color or colour? Tire or tyre? Enrolment or enrollment? It depends where you live! So en-global doesn't try and make this decision for you: it accepts either variant. As well as being useful to beginners and second language users, it is important in any international context where more than one variety may be in use.
