I think it's probably the internet service(IE, chrome, fire fox, etc) you're using. Are you in the UK or US?

Trump. Trump. Trump.
No matter how many times I type that there SHOULD BE a red squiggly line underneath it. Damn FBI.

Are you aware that Trump is an old piece of British slang meaning "flatulence"? It is a word, complete with entertaining meaning, and not just a name.
This.
I am english and over here 'Center' is used for a place name i.e "The Octogon Center" which is a place near me however I and a few others tend to use Center for a place and Centre for the middle of something. I get the squiggles in reverse in here though so in this post I get told that Center is incorrect!! They are interchangeable though.
Things like colour and Labour don't have a squiggle for me on here which it excellent as I hate it when computers try to tell me I should miss out u's for no reason!!
As for Trump, well I'm disappointed that there isn't a massive red line straight through the middle of it to be honest!!

I have chrome set to English - not English (US). I am in NZ so my regional settings are there. And I have the language set to English (United Kingdom). Still I get the damn machine trying to force me to spell like the illiterates. I will never submit!
Spell checker language and browser language are two different settings in Chrome, might be worth checking if that's set.
Also there's nothing old about it, we still use it to this day as a polite way to say it!

I would also wish that your avatar didn't make me constantly think it was trying to load!!

This is due to your browser locale setting. Not a forum setting.
The only correct english on the forum is my english, in which I boondoggle whatever colloquial term I deem fit for my purposes at any given time to be misused in the most offensive manner possible for the maximum amount of confusion, thereby giving me an advantage in any discussion in which I otherwise have no legitimate backing by either real events or even applicable knowledge derived from the world we live in.
So you can all sod your knots and sit on a teewiddle to fiddle my he-harp until I decide to ken ya the verbal ejecta. Thank you.

So what!? Really who cares?
Calling cookies biscuits still makes no sense. Biscuits are for breakfast sandwiches.
And tea should be brewed with sugar and served over ice.

Cookies are a type of biscuit, and iced tea is one way of making tea
I wonder how you might pronounce a town not too far from me, Loughborough?
It would be a boring place if we were all the same
And before yall get any ideas, the harp is indeed a masculine instrument....
A Very Masculine Instrument.
