It triggers in the exact same way as previously. Open gedit, type some text, then select Tools --> Autocheck Spelling, or Tools --> Check Spelling (Shift +F7). As described above, many valid English words, including most plurals and word variants are indicated as being incorrect. By manually selecting English (US) prior to the spell check, everything works as expected. Again referenced above, if I manually select any of the English dictionaries available, all work as expected, apart from the generic English and the South African English. The rest of the system (for example the text box I'm writing this in) seems to know to spell check in some version of English, and does not error on plurals and other words that fail in gedit.
