I'd like to reopen this bug, as the default dictionary for United States installs is still British English. It's annoying, as the differences do show up in everyday conversation. It may not seem to be of significance to users in Great Britain or South Africa, it's enough of an impact to give a very unfinished look to the operating system as a whole.
It does seem to be a duplicate of the previously mentioned bug, unfortunately that bug hasn't had any activity in awhile. To give a little bit of input, in past installs of Ubuntu (and other GNOME distributions) one could just go into the gconf-editor and change the /apps/empathy key to read "US-English" instead of "English". Unfortunately, there does not seem to be an "empathy" option in the .gconf settings. This holds true on both my Fedora and Ubuntu installs. -- UK dictionary for spellcheck in an US install https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/451627 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
