Title:
  Empathy using wrong English dictionary

Status in “empathy” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: empathy

  I have my system language set to English (United States), and the
  spellcheck option in Empathy set to "English" (the only option), but
  Empathy appears to be using a British spellcheck dictionary, contrary
  to system settings.

  For example, it accepts the term "maths" but flags "math" as a
  spelling error.

  It should use an English dictionary that matches the system setting.

  I'm using Maverick with Empathy 2.31.92.
