[Pointless question] Why does Firefox and Chrome think movie is a spelling mistake?

As above. When I type the word movie it underlines it and tells me to spell it m-o-v-e.

Why?

Because you've set UK English and "movie" is an American term?

It should be film not movie.

Because movie is a by-product of AMERICAN DEBAUCHERY :mad:

My Fifrefox with a UK dictionary doesn't flag movie as misspelt?
