    At the risk of stating the obvious, American English is rarely spoken in
    Great Britain. Either use Tools->Set Language and choose English (US) or
    get the "British" English dictionary from our download site at SourceForge
    ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/abiword ). You will probably want
    AbiWord_Dictionary_British.exe, although the abispell-en-GB.i386.zip is
    more up to date.
