[Bug 445863] Re: Spell checking doesn't allow US English words when using "English" language

[internic]

This bug still effects my in system running 12.04.1.  When using spell
checking in empathy, US spelling variants are marked incorrect while
British variants are not (e.g., "honor" if flagged while "honour" is
not).

In System Tools -> Language Support, "English (United States)" is at the
top of the list in "Language" tab and selected in the "Regional Formats"
tab, and I have tried selecting "Apply System-wide" in both tabs and
restarting Empathy with no effect.  gedit spell checking shows the
language setting as "English (United States)" and seems to be behaving
properly, so the issue doesn't seem to be in all Gnome programs.

The workaround suggested at the top of this page doesn't work either.
gconf-editor shows no entry at
/apps/empathy/conversation/spell_checker_languages and adding an entry
as described has no effect after restarting empathy.
