It's difficult to standardize on a spelling checker dictionary, since generally speaking dictionaries are licensed by the software developer from a dictionary producer. If there was only one dictionary producer or they all had the same features and/or price, then maybe things would be easier... The dictionary used by Thunder! (from Electronic Arts) was created by a Canadian firm and by default contains all the British/Canadian spellings that you've been adding to your other dictionaries. Evan Gross (Author of Thunder!)
