I am experiencing this problem in Ubuntu recise 12.04 x64.
In the Language Support dialog from System Settings...
On the Language tab, I have (listed in order)...
English (United States)
English
I have clicked the Apply System-Wide botton.
On the Language tab, I have...
English (United States) selected in the drop-down menu
I have clicked the Apply System-Wide botton.
I restarted my computer, but gedit (version 3.4.1) still uses British
spellings in the spell-checker.
Interestingly, about:config in FireFox reveals en_AU for the
spellchecker.dictionaly value. I don't know if these issues are
related, but I would expect gedit and FireFox to pull the settings from
the Operating System.
(Is Ubuntu using Australian spellings instead of U.S.?)

Title:
spell check uses wrong English dictionary
Status in Light-Weight Text Editor for Gnome:
Confirmed
Status in “gedit” package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
Spellcheck in Ubuntu 8.10's Gedit 2.24.2 is using the wrong English
dictionary. For example, US English has "color" and British English
has "colour." In my case I want US. If I look at Tools-> Set
Language-> I see a list with English on top followed by six specific
English languages and Turkish. If I select "English (United States)" I
get the dictionary I want but only for this Gedit session. There is no
way I can find to always use US English so every time I open a Gedit
session and want to spell check I have to specifically select
Language.
I attempted to delete the other dictionaries in the Synaptic Package
Manger but since the languages are part of an umbrella package I'd
create problems the next time I wanted to upgrade to a new Ubuntu
release. I also tried the configuration editor but no parameter for
language was available. I can't recall having to specify language with
each Gedit session in past Ubuntu releases.
There needs to be some way to set the default Gedit language for the
spell checker plugin. My expectation is that once a language is
selected it should stay the language until I manually change it.
