| 1203181 | 2011-05-19 01:16:00 | Hi :) Anyone tried this (addons.mozilla.org) addon for Firefox? If you have, what are your thoughts? It doesn't appear to have been reviewed or rated. Thanks. | catspyjamas (15614) | ||
| 1203182 | 2011-05-19 02:37:00 | I only recently added the UK dictionary to Firefox. The NZ one wasn't available among the Add-Ons at that stage. No complaints with the UK dictionary anyway, which I imagine the NZ one has been largely based upon, so go for it! |

| 1203183 | 2011-05-19 03:45:00 | I use the UK one too instead of the default American lets remove some letters cause we can't spell big words. Although without a dictionary addon installed the spelling correction doesn't work | gary67 (56) | ||
| 1203184 | 2011-05-19 04:11:00 | I prefer to use a UK dictionary rather than the US dictionary. NZ spelling stems from the UK rather than the US and having a US dictionary can be a pain in the neck. I have just changed my spell dictionary add on in IE9 from a US dictionary to a UK dictionary. |

| 1203185 | 2011-05-19 04:18:00 | What does the NZ dictionary really add? Place names? Maori words? I've always used Queen's English. |

| 1203186 | 2011-05-19 05:15:00 | What does the NZ dictionary really add? Place names? Maori words? I've always used Queen's English. Yup pretty much. It's based on British English with some NZ specific stuff added. From the website: Includes New Zealand places, including major cities and towns, and major suburbs. It also contains NZ words, organisations and expressions. I thought I'd download the UK one if others had had a bad experience with the NZ one. |
