I typed in and selected words like "thru" and "color", ran them through the spellchecker and they were passed as OK.

I then selected English(UK) from the drop down list and as there was no OK button closed the dialog window. To check it I reselected the spellchecker ABC icon at the top and re-entered the spellchecker. It had reverted back to English(US)

I suspect that English(US) is the default and in the absence of another custom dictionary i.e English(UK) it defaults and uses English(US).

I attempted to change default but there wasn't another dictionary file to become the default so nothing happened and English(US) still remained as the default custom dictionary.

I hope all that is clear.
