I've just completed a fresh installation of Ubuntu 8.10. My locale is set to en_US.UTF-8, and Firefox and OpenOffice are both using the US English dictionaries for their spell check functions, but GtkSpell applications (Gajim, Text Editor, etc.) are defaulting to "English", which is distinct from the "English (United States)" option. "English", as it turns out, means the Great Britain variety (even though there is a separate "English (United Kingdom)" option), wherein neighbors are neighbours, criticize is criticise, up is down, black is white, etc. ;)
Has anyone else seen this? How can I make GtkSpell default to US English like my other spell checkers do? Thanks in advance...
