The authors of aspell must be really parochial. To them, "English" means "American", Canadian is a distinct language, and British English just does not exist. There are dictionaries for languages with a smaller user base than British English.
Wrong. Using aspell and having the relevant dictionaries installed, I see in LyX 1.6.1, Document Settings-> Language
English English (Canada) English (UK) English (USA) (the first accpets both UK and US spelling). In LyX 1.5.7, these are called: American British Canadian English
Is there any way of getting around this
Yes, make sure your aspell installation is alright. /Konrad
