Getting rid of the flag

Language & Text prefPane->Input Sources->uncheck Show input menu in menu bar. AFAIK, grammarian isn't an input device.

Language & Text prefPane-> Input Sources > uncheck all flags but one.

Then, I have no idea what grammarian is all about. BTW, I forgot about the setting KJK555 mentioned. A single country selected shuts off the flag.

Did you try KJK555's suggestion? I seem to remember the opposite problem, namely I wanted the little flag, but it wasn't there after the upgrade to Snow Leopard, I had to go and check the boxes to also have the Australian, and in fairness, added the Brit English options, then my usual US flag showed up in the drop down menu for the Input menu, and I selected it. I think before that, when I had just US selected, instead of the flag icon I had the Keyboard and Character Viewer icon.

So go to System Prefs->Input Sources and uncheck the box to "Show input menu in menu bar" and then any boxes that are checked in the input methods. When you get to just one box being checked, it will grey out. Recheck the Show box and you should then have the boring little black and white Character pallette icon.

Does this mean there are more than one of you?
And who would this be?

Apple, please give us that choice. Thank you.

You are just talking to other users here. To tell Apple something, use this link:

But your problem is caused by Grammarian. Ask them to find some other way to operate their app without messing with Apple's keyboard layout selector. I don't think any other app does that, and don't know why their's should either.

I checked Grammarian's website - there are two versions; which version do you have?

Also, I checked my settings: In my Language & Text Preference Pane -> Input Sources, I have checked "Keyboard & Character Viewer" and (by default and greyed out), only the US flag is checked. That puts a small icon of the Keyboard & Character Viewer in the menu bar instead of a flag. This may not be a perfect solution, but you might want to try it - at least it gets rid of the flag.


Edit: I take it you do not care for the built-in spell checking capabilities of the OS? Most apps work with that and I've never felt the need for any additional application.

In order for Grammarian to appear in applications, one has to activate the imput menu, so one can edit live in the other applications, such as firefox.

Does this apply to your case?

As I had mentioned, I have the input menu in the menu bar without a flag; the only icon showing is the character/keyboard icon.

If you only have one country's keyboard setting checked and you have show input menu on menu bar, then, if the country's flag is showing instead of the character viewer icon, blame grammarian. No other app, AFAIK, messes up the input sources menu.
