If Belize (population c280,000) has a spell check option in MS Word for the local version of English, why are there no local (dialect) option settings in MS Word for the United Kingdom.
That is for Lallans or Lowland Scots as spoken in Scotland and Northern Ireland plus parts of Eire and England (Donegal and Berwick-on-Tweed).
And an option for the Southern United States too, or do they speak standard American English there?
See Wikipedia below (was Berwick-on-Tweed at war with Russia from 1853 to 1966?):
