hyphenation

LaTeX was written for use with English, and so there are very few language-specific issues facing authors in English. The main one is hyphenation: UK and US traditions are different. LaTeX starts out using US English patterns, but you can switch to UK ones using babel.

\documentclass{article} \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \usepackage[UKenglish]{babel} \begin{document} Some text \end{document}
