		<description>Mr. Ager,

The reason your language is becoming ever more "stars and stripey" is probably due to Australian regional government departments, like the [Government of Western Australia] (http://www.det.wa.edu.au/education/cmis/eval/curriculum/learningareas/learn3.htm) promoting the use of American English dictionaries in the classroom, not British ones (on the linked page, note the presence of the respected US English dictionary Mirriam-Webster dictionary, not Oxford University Press). Maybe other regional governments are doing it as well. Being from the United Kingdom, I can only sympathise with your current distress :-) Somebody ought to say something...</description>

		<description>Even if such a wonderful option were to become available, David, I fear that you might find it disappointing. According to the proper OED, the correct spelling of the word in question is in fact 'digitize', and if you were to search through Fowler, you would find much the same guideline. You may wish to examine the entry for '-ize', or read [this website](http://www.askoxford.com/asktheexperts/faq/aboutspelling/ize?view=uk). While the government and media might have made unfortunate choices in the matter, I am rather saddened that others have followed followed them rather than respectable institutions. It is with some amusement, however, that I have read through these comments containing so much lambasting as improper and Americanistic what the very bastions of propriety in the English language justifiably deem correct. 

Of course, this puts one who seeks to write properly in an unfortunate situation for spell-checking: one may choose the American dictionary, and be told that 'analyse' is incorrect, or may choose the British dictionary, and be told that 'antagonize' is incorrect. I fear I shall find no respite from the red line, unless I disable checking altogether and rely entirely on careful typing.</description>

		<description>Thanks for the tips! this was starting to drive me mad. It's a real shame that the dictionary can't be updated, but at least I can write in peace from the red-line!</description>

		<description>This is all well and good.

But what REALLY annoys me is the Dictionary App that comes with Leopard.

It seems that this App uses the New Oxford American Dictionary, and no option to choose the (proper) Oxford English Dictionary.

I can search 'digitise', and Dictionary will find the correct word. However, I am told that it is spelt 'digitize'.

		<description>@sjh: in all my code `from sqlalchemy import *` is used, so that isn't a problem.  If you've changed your import lines then you'll have to modify your own code so all the relevant imports have been completed :)</description>
