    As an American, we simplified English spellings back in the day. Pray we don’t simplify it further.

    But for real, yeah here it’s correct to spell it check. A lot of words that we spell different were adopted into English before we simplified our spellings.

      And that’s why in language switchers there should be “English” and “Simplified English”.

        Or just American English and British. It’s taken on a life of its own.

        Or idk call it what you want in your country’s software and see how widespread of a convention you get it to be
