I switched to using Amd to avoid similar problems to yours. I'll send you my config as examples if you request it. There are many international readers on FreeBSD lists, whose first language is neither English nor American. To avoid making their reading un-necessarily difficult, it's best to keep the language genericly english, & avoid local dialects & mis-spellings (try using /usr/ports/textproc/ispell). Explantions of misleading spellings & mapping dialect to generic: NFS wows (1A) --> NFS woes (1B) seamed (2A) --> seemed (2B) night mare (3A) --> nightmare (3B) become hosed (4A) --> freeze/hang (4B) 1A Wow!: An exclamation 1B Woe: Bad luck, despair, as in "Woe betide he who is caught ...." (generaly used in old fashioned Enlish phrases). 2A Seam: 2 layers of material, at the join. 2B Seem: Appear 3A Night Mare: A female horse at night. 3B Nightmare: A horrible dream. 4A Hosed: American dialect, but is Not English, not generic.
