Public bug reported:
Fresh install of Raring (because I'm playing with the Beta, but I've
noted similar issues before with other builds), en-IE locale.
Libreoffice has English dictionaries for: en-AU, en-CA, en-GB, en-US,
en-ZA, and no others.
Uninstall Libreoffice and install from .deb files. Libreoffice has
support for: en-AU, en-BZ, en-CA, en-GB, en-GH, en-IE, en-IN, en-JM, en-
MW, en-NA, en-NZ, en-PH, en-TT, en-US, en-ZA & en-ZW.
This severely hampers the usefulness of LibreOffice to many English
speakers, unless they've installed manually.
A workaround can be to mark your document as being in the supported
dialect closest to your own and then spell-check it before changing it
back. This is imperfect in checking for some dialects, and not as easily
done if you are mixing languages (or worse, dialects of English) in the
same document.
