Microsoft Word & Setswana

It's been difficult working with Microsoft Word while working in Botswana.

I try to set the spell check to British English because I am constantly typing in American English using words like:

organization instead of organisation
program instead of programme
honorable instead of honourable

Even if I put British English in default, once I start typing in American English, the setting will switch back and ignore the spelling errors.

But, imagine if you could switch Microsoft Word to Setswana? Setswana is spoken by approximately 4.5 million people. (For reference, the population of Los Angeles is about 3.7 million people). Not a chance there would be a spell check for Setswana (especially with the high Setswana illiteracy rate).

This is what happens when Word gets wind of Setswana:


Basically, Word is saying, "You are incompetent and cannot handle any additional errors therefore, we will just sweep all of the errors under the rug because it is tired of logging them." Once you hit ok, all the red squiggly lines disappear, and you have successfully fatigued Word's spell check system.

Tada.
