Surely we can, dxb--yes!.
But it is a curious idiolectical realization to see those instances in which I hold on to certain spellings. Theatre, for instance. I cannot make myself write 'theater' when referring to staged drama. And the spellcheck on my home computer tries to correct 'theatre' each time I enter it.

If you're talking to me, Faldage, no it doesn't make the changes. It just tells me that I've misspelled a word. In fact, it tells me each day that I've misspelled a word--and most times the Spellcheck is incorrect. It just doesn't have an adequately large vocabulary.

If it's Microsoft Word go to Tools>Options, click on the Spelling & Grammar tab and uncheck Check spelling as you type. And Tia's your aunt.
