Well, it's not "just" about changing dictionaries, it's about changing to a
completely new spell-checking backend. You *could* just put in a
british.hash, but that isn't very robust. If you upgrade to pspell, you'll
actually get a supported backend with lots of dictionaries, and you can
spell-check based on LANG or by the language attribute of a run of text,
which I find particularly useful.

en-US, en-GB, de-DE respectively
