In /etc/portage/make.conf I have:

LINGUAS="en en_US"

For spell checkers, I have:

hunspell Installed versions: 1.3.2-r3

gtkspell Installed versions: 2.0.16(2)

[I] app-dicts/myspell-en
Available versions: 20081002
Installed versions: 20081002

But, whenever I write something (usually in Firefox or Kmail), I'm given the British spellings. For example, I'm told "labor" is wrong and I should correct it to labour.

Have I missed a setting somewhere?

Thanks,
Vicki

bump, and making a note to look into this a bit later, I noticed the same thing. I should be spelling color correctly here.

Right click on a text box in Firefox. Select American dictionary under "Languages."

It will save you from using proper English. :)

:D I'm marking this solved. For some reason it had me on English (Canada) in Firefox. Kmail is working properly too. Maybe I had been trying to run it through Firefox.
