Windows Live Writer Dictionary Hack – Obsolete

Choices, choicesAlong with a load of other Live announcements Microsoft announced that Windows Live Writer was now out of beta and has three English dictionaries. This makes my kludge of a dictionary hack wonderfully obsolete, it’s better that way. The installation even picked up the correct dictionary for me. So I can now be English (United Kingdom) without any issue.

I’m sure that the debate about the use of “ize” will continue for some time to come though, but I’m adamant that “colour” needs it’s “u”.

Everything seems to work great, although for some reason I find it strange to be writing about Windows Live Writer while using it.

If you are struggling to get the correct dictionary you can change it in Tools-Option-Spelling.
