    Default My Playbook thinks I speak Spanish. Why?

    I am having a hard time with the spell check, auto correct and the like. Its always changing my words to Spanish spellings. How do I make this as efficient as the phones? Is there a tutorial on this somewhere? Even my keyboard is spelled in Spanish. My spacebar says, Espacio and my return button says lr???
    Im super annoyed by this feature at the moment. Now. I can speak kitchen espaņol, but that wont work when surfing the Web. I mean, unless Im ordering some Mexican grub. Help! O'tay tanks!

    Go into language and change it to English.

    Go to your home screen, swipe down from top, onleft side you will see "language", click and change to English.

    And as Josh says your keyboard language setting also, it's the round globe left side of spacebar.

    Yeah, the language is set to English already. I'm actually typing remotely from my phone because the settings are so wonky On the Playbook. I will keep playing with it. Thank You

    I'm assuming you tried changing the typing language by tapping the "globe" icon on the keyboard and selecting English? Idk if youve done that.

    English certainly is the chosen language on the device. I don't mind the Spanish spellings, but the constant suggestions and the device auto choosing the first word in the row is irritating me. I'm just deactivating the feature for now. Man, somebody being me a taco. I'll be waiting. Patiently.

    In paranormal view, your PlayBook is probably possessed by a Spanish spirit... Santa Maria!!!
