First, check which dictionaries you have installed. Have a look in 
/usr/local/AbiSuite/dictionary/

If you only have american.hash, you will need to download the dictionary 
tarball from Sourceforge 
(http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=15518&release_id=456
23) and put the correct british.hash into that directory. The tarball is 
called abispell. (At least, I think that's the one. My connection is a 56k 
modem, so I haven't downloaded it to check.)

If you've got the right dictionary there, it shouldn't mark 'color' 
correct. If it does, that's a bug. Go to Bugzilla 
(http://bugzilla.abisource.com/) and file it.

Another thing you can do is run AbiWord from a terminal, and check for 
messages about being unable to open the dictionary. If you get some, come 
back and tell us, and we might be able to work out what's wrong.

Well, you could try renaming your old custom dictionary and seeing whether 
that fixes the problem. It's in $HOME/.Abisuite/

It doesn't seem to be terribly reliable, though. I'm going to have to mess 
with it further.
