[Bug 177227] Re: US English spelling is incorrectly marked as misspelled, treated as UK English

 

Reopen it.

I have the same problem with GB English spelling being correct and I
want US-Englsih spelling  to be correct.  This is annoying and needs to
be corrected.  It has persisted across several versions of Firefox.  I
am using Version 7.0 now.

Title:
  US English spelling is incorrectly marked as misspelled, treated as UK
  English

Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: firefox

  I am running the en-US dictionary (I checked this in my browser's
  'About' screen and this report will also signify this).

  When I type words like 'color' and 'favorite' they are marked as misspelled (I can see the red lines now ;) but they are clearly spelled correctly.
  The spelling suggestions offer the UK alternatives ['colour' and 'favourite', respectively].  This leads me to think that the US English dictionary is not correct.
