Apple Support Communities Spellcheck and The Box about why something was Edited

Question

Hi,
Two Questions.
1) Has anyone found a way to make the choice in the SpellChecker anything but English US.
I can change it for one post but the next always is back at English US
(I know the HTML Editor is subject to my computer's settings and is somewhat  helpful if untidy)
2) If you come back to edit you post a similar box to the Title Box on the Original Post appears below the main Reply area. (Small and narrow but can have plenty of text added)
It has a standard "Message was Edited by :- (Your alias)" pre-filled.
I prefer/used to add new lines in the Previous software and add why I had Edited.
I find that adding a new line does not actually add them when posted. In fact a Space between the end of my alias and the new add-on text is missing.
Has anyone found a way to tweak the actions of this Box ?
(I have tried HTML <br> tags and the <p> tags to no avail)

From here down is the Edit (At least one)
Problem 1)
Second issue
This pic was the Original default message then two Enter keys to create a line with nothing on and then the text.
Followed by two more enter keys and the br tag and that line as in the pic.
The most that happens is a space is actually created (which may or may not be new)
I preferred under the old system to also say why I edited something and now it looks like a mess (See Below the Sig stuff)
