Here's what you should do and you should be happier too: \be+TAB to get \begin{; definit+ESC and choose definition; close the } and then press TAB again and you should get \end{definition} so you have nothing to add.

Thanks for the details; that will smooth my workflow a bit.  Always happy to learn a few new keystrokes.

However, that still leaves me with the unanswered question of why TeXShop suddenly started thinking I am Italian.

Any clues on that?

FWIW, after about 10 minutes, TeXShop admitted defeat and started using a more appropriate dictionary.
