[Bug 451627] Re: UK dictionary for spellcheck in an US install

[T. Dalbo]

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.
