Australian spelling

The colour of cheques is acclimatizing for chooks!
 
Living in Australia with a computer that has an American spell-checker is no easy chore.  Everytime I type in something that it doesn't like I get a nasty red line telling me to fix it - but it IS fixed.
 
Please therefore accept my abject apology for spelling bi-colour, lavendar, bushfire, favourite et al in a manner not conducive to you and your computer.   Poor Jan Clark is still recovering from the "chook" debacle, and I am too frightened to mention any of my chook jokes for fear of the punch line requiring a translation.
 
The spell-checker had never heard of Maori or Sydney either, but had no problems with Waxahatchie or Kalamazoo (I rest my case!)
