The real problem is that most of the time, English and French words are
'similar', and sometimes I just can't remember what is the correct
spelling for either language. So I end up right neither proper French
nor proper English, and I don't like mutilating either language :-/

Typical examples :

adresse / address

example / exemple

language / langage

That kind of thing...

I would like an easy way to tell Evolution what language I want to use.
This way it will keep correcting me and, eventually, over time, I will
write proper French, and proper English, instead of a disgusting mix of
the two :-/
