Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox

I am running the en-US dictionary (I checked this in my browser's
'About' screen and this report will also signify this).

When I type words like 'color' and 'favorite' they are marked as misspelled (I can see the red lines now ;) but they are clearly spelled correctly.
The spelling suggestions offer the UK alternatives ['colour' and 'favourite', respectively].  This leads me to think that the US English dictionary is not correct.
