Hi Maurice,

did you download the language pack for en-GB? If not, you could download and
install it. You'll find it here:
http://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/testing/3.3.0-beta3/rpm/x86/LibO_3.3.0_Linux_x86_langpack-rpm_en-GB.tar.gz

So it could then use the British English you're used to. :)

Many thanks for your response; much appreciated...

  They are blue - so 'grammar check'.

Those checks are done automatically - you can switch it off, if you
select  "no language" for your text. (Mark all your text, go to
Format Character and there is a drop down list, where you can
choose "no language").

My observations on this:

 (1) Using OpenOffice Writer, these 'view' markings no not appear on
this document.

 (2) I don't understand why e.g. "walking tour" has been
underlined as a possible grammar error. (There is no error adjacent
to the phrase.)
     (Perhaps because this LibreOffice is 'US English' rather than
the GB-English that I use?
      How can that be a grammar error even in US English?)


I remember one remark from André Schnabel on the German users list, that
Language Tool complains about missing articles. So it could be just
something like this.


 (3) Why is space(s)/tab before the first word of any paragraph
filled with the  blue wiggly line?

I don't want to turn grammar checking off, but the marker lines at
the beginning of every paragraph are distracting...

Why is LibreOffice doing this when OpenOffice is not?

OOo does not do it, because it does not come by default with
LanguageTool. �


Here is an example (between the 2 "---"  lines) representing
the blue marker line with the "~" character here:
