I remain convinced this is due to dodgy spell-checkers. ;-) Its one of those interesting things with languages... especially the English Language, which lets face it has borrowed words and phrases from most languages (French, Latin, Saxon etc etc.), that they are in a permanent state of flux. To the best of my knowledge the suffix -ize is Americanism, but it did exist in one or two words in the English version of English. It's basically a different dialect of the same language. However to put American spellings in the British English section of the International Dictionary does seem wrong... but then again I can always correct it. -- Have Fun, Ben Allen [EMAIL PROTECTED] crashing The Bat! v3.80.03 falling out of mid air with Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 2 I ate a man's brain because he said I was stupider then him, and you know what, now I feel smarter.

I don't remember the details, but they supported the -ize ending in nearly all uses. Harrap's Dictionary of English Usage also prefers -ize with a list of 44 exceptions. Also a simple rule of thumb that if a verb can form a noun ending in -ation, then the verb should be spelled -ize.

Re: International Pack
Hello TBUDL, I reloaded my OS and copied TB application folder back into my user account and everything is back working or is it? My question is; when I downloaded the International Pack originally and installed it on my machine, where does it install files at? Is it the Program Folder or the Application Data folder under my user account? The reason I'm asking is that I can't remember if it installs itself as a regular program where you would normally locate it in the Program Folder or Add/Remove Folder. Is there a way to know if it is properly installed on my machine? I didn't do the proper backup but what I did was to copy the whole TB folder under my application data and when I reloaded TB, and set up my two accounts, I then deleted the new TB folder in my application data and pasted the old TB folder back to my application data folder. Everything seems to work okay but I just want to verify that my International Pack is there. I hope this is not too confusing. -- Regards, Tim mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Using The Bat!

Hello All, I'm using the latest version of the International pack but I miss The Dutch spelling checker in it. (It will give me a Dutch menu but not the spelling checker). I've reinstalled it again but that does not solve it. What is wrong?
