you are correct about not being understood most of the time as Aus has so many colloquial phrases that make no sense here.
English spellcheckers are a pain in the butt. It is fine if you really spell a word incorrectly. But if a word is spelled correct, but used incorrect, spell check doesn't help at all.
Australian english hasn't changed any original spellings, it has just made additions to the language, which, I seriously doubt anyone would consider to need to be correct in a spellchecker, of all things..
I agree with the use of the word comments. I have to be careful all the time. My 'in' and 'it' get mixed up and so do the 'of' and 'on'. LOL

Yeah, it's just a little odd. Like in Word, I'll set it to apparently 'AU english' and it will still show up with words like 'colour' being incorrect.
Hm. That's odd. I just set mine to English (Australian) right now as a test, and it sees 'colour' as correct and 'color' as incorrect. Perhaps you're setting it incorrectly, or maybe you set it once but it reverts back to American when you close the program?
Perhaps that is the case. I shall check.
