The reason I used en_US.UTF-8 on the command line is because it's the
one 'locale' told me my system is using;
rope...@laptop:~$ locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
The concern with gedit is; if I just open (or write) a document in
gedit, click Tools --> Autocheck Spelling, then many many words,
including those listed above, get the red squiggly indicating they are
incorrectly spelled. If I take the extra step of selecting the
dictionary to use by Tools --> Set Language --> English (United States),
then the spelling check is performed correctly. As supporting evidence,
maybe hinting where the problem lies, from all the English dictionaries
listed in gedit, the US, UK, CA and AU ones work fine, but the ZA and
just plain English ones, fail with the above red squiggly lines.
The problem as I see it is, other portions of the system (OpenOffice,
Thunderbird, this text box in Firefox) seem to have the correct spell-
checking by default, by gedit requires me to take an unnecessary extra
step for every single text file I want to spell check.
