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.?)
