Pro-tip:
Rather than settling for English (US) or English (UK) as your preferred language in Google Docs, you can now set your preferred language to Canadian English!
Here is how to change your preferred language:
Go to your Google Account (Click Manage Your Google Account).
Head to the Personal info tab.
Then, head to the General preferences for web.
From there, go to language.
Enter English as your language, then Canada as your country.
