Title:
  English Dictionary for Libreoffice in LMDE not installed

Status in The Linux Mint Distribution:
  New
Status in “libreoffice-dictionaries” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I have installed the LMDE release one 64 bit edition with all the
  updating. Openoffice was removed and Libreoffice was installed per the
  update. I couldn't get it to check spelling until I noticed that the
  English language dictionary extension wasn't installed in the default.
  This makes spell check broken in the default install. A normal user
  might not know this as it "looks" like the English dictionary is
  installed unless you know to look for the blue check with the ABC next
  to it. A user who is used to having this set up normally could easily
  miss this and be stuck with a broken spell checker in the flagship
  office suite or worse, switch away from this excellent Debian-based
  distribution. In installing Ooo on Windows and using it in numerous
  other Linux flavors, the dictionary is automatically included.

  I propose that the English dictionary be included as a part of the
  default installation to ease user adoption.
