That isn't what is in the drop-down spelling config. I can have "English" or "Canadian". If I choose English, I get U.S. spellings, and British is flagged as errors. That is certainly not enough. Perhaps aspell can be influenced by my Locale settings, but LyX blocks that. Certainly I can have British spellings elsewhere.
