You saved me !!! I finally understood what's going on. I've tried
ObjectFramSpell but I never managed to make it work from the service
menu. It seems that it replaced my OS X dictionary with the French
version. OW then uses the French dictionary.
I removed OFS from the service menu and it is now back in English :-)
Thanks a lot.
I'll make tests to see if there is a simple way to switch from one
anguage to another.
