For quite sometime, I have set English (Republic of the Philippines) as my
default input language.
During spell check some of the words such as color, are underlined with red
wavy lines indicating that the word was spelled wrong. Word suggests colour
as an alternative for color.
My concern is that it actually the English (Republic of the Philippines)
should be based on American English rather than to British English. We can
quote one of the sources online:
"The Philippine variety of the English Language based on American English
has been studied extensively (Casambre, 1985; Gonzalez, 1982, 1984, 1991;
Gonzalez & Alberca, 1978; Llamzon, l969; Marasigan, 1981). It is not a
codeswitching variety, a pidgin, or a creole but rather an English variety
in its
own right with substratal influence from the first language."

We hope that we can take a look at this matter and hopefully we can resolve
this issue in future versions of Office.
Thanks!
