Hi All, now that I have successfully changed that very irritating voice over
saying misspelt every time it comes across a word not in its dictionary, I
am wondering if there is any way of changing same for the iOS devices.
I suppose someone will come back and say the Mac OSx is a much more
sophisticated screen reader.

Hello Andy,
Your keyboard is already British English. The Mac keyboard is different
from a PC keyboard so the @ sign is where it should be, over the 2. Just
use VO-k to find where all the keys are.
If you’re typing in another language, you can add the keyboard layout for
that language in System preferences and switch to it when you need it.
I have both British English and French configured on my MacBook Air and
use Cmd-Space to toggle between the two.
However, if you’re typing Spanish, the tilde dead key is Option-n so for ñ
you do Option-n followed by n. The acute dead key is Option-e. ¡ is
Option-1. ¿ is Option-Shift-Slash.
Cheers,
Anne

Thanks - I've found the accent key, next to the 'z', and with shift, it
does become Tilde, but I don't know how to type it so that it becomes
part of a written letter; for example, I want to write 'n' with a Tilde
over it, but holding down shift accent and 'n' just gives me a Tilde
followed by a capitol 'n'.
Incidentally, I'm thinking this keyboard on this MBA is set up as a US
keyboard, because the 'at sign' for instance, is over the number 2, and
I'm use to having the quote sign on the number 2 key. Can the keyboard
layout be changed on an MBA to UK english? -
