Well, it's not "just" about changing dictionaries, it's about changing to a 
completely new spell-checking backend. You *could* just put in a 
british.hash, but that isn't very robust. If you upgrade to pspell, you'll 
actually get a supported backend with lots of dictionaries, and you can 
spell-check based on LANG or by the language attribute of a run of text, 
which I find particularly useful.

all would come out marked as correct if you mark each word as:
en-US, en-GB, de-DE respectively
