I stand alone with Union Jack held high being battered by the winds of Simplified English. I WILL NOT FALTER! Fighting on beaches, cliffs of Dover! Tea and crumpets Albert! Queen and Country!!!

Any ideas people?

Did you change your autocorrect language to "English (United Kingdom)"? I had to do this manually despite my system language being set to UK English

Edit: Just FYI, it's back to "king and country" now :(
