WordPress - Default language choice...?

    WordPress - Windows 10 x64


    In WordPress Settings/General Settings/Site Language, I have English UK selected.


    But, as I type a text, I keep seeing UK spellings underlined in red (e.g. theatre, centre, etc.) and if I right-click, the US English alternative is suggested.


    Can I stop this from happening?


    Thanks.

    I'm pretty sure that's your browser's auto correct not wordpress that causes the red underline

    Chrome and Firefox have an annoying habit of defaulting to US English - but you can update it in the settings

    That was the problem. Have changed the settings in Firefox.

    Thanks.
