That is really interesting. I would have expected some granular divisions
in English-US and English-UK. All I see is "English" also. There are some
bug reports that seem to address this a little bit.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/empathy/+bug/488131 and
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/empathy/+bug/445863

One thing in the second bug it says to: " ... make Empathy recognize US
English words locally by using gconf-editor to change the relevant entry at
the path below from "en" to "en-US" and restarting Empathy.
  /apps/empathy/conversation/spell_checker_languages"

Hope it helps
