** Description changed: 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 langauge 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 - laguage is selected it should stay the language until I manually change - it. + 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.
