Since there's not actually an 'aspell-en' package, pick from one of the 
following:

myspell-en-gb - English_british dictionary for myspell
myspell-en-us - English_american dictionary for myspell
myspell-en-za - South African English dictionary for myspell
myspell-en-au - English_australian dictionary for myspell

Which probably would be myspell-en-au :)
