Help answer this question below.

Firefox, why is the English dictionary actually American? To get an English dictionary you need to download the English (British) dictionary, surely as English is ENGLISH Firefox should have an English (American) dictionary instead of just English.

    Most other spell checkers, and Windows itself, use the word American or United States to describe that dictionary so it would be in keeping with tradition if Firefox did the same thing. More logical too.
