In the extension manager you should see British English with the 217K 
listing name.  If you have one that specified en_GB dictionary, and this 
one was the last to be installed, then it is replacing the en_GB list.  
Or, in case you have a dictionary that is "locked" like the default 
English once, it would be used as an additional list to work with, i.e. 
adding more words to the list.  That is what I understand happens.

Actually I made a mistake and forgot to designate it was en_GB instead 
of just "en" for that list and forgot the same with the en_US list.  
Both had the plain "en" designate and if I installed GB, my US version 
was removed from the names on the list, and back and forth, till I 
finally figured out my error.  Now I have both 217K word spelling 
dictionaries installed.  I have not yet figured out a way to have a 98K 
American word list and the 217K version included at the same time with 
one disabled and the other one active.  It would be nice to have more 
than one option available.

Also, I am hoping to find the en_GB thesaurus controlling system for the 
British version, but until I do, I include the en_US version and state 
it so.

Also, Oxford GB English is slightly different than "standard" Great 
Britain English.  Some have to do with "proper" spelling for words that 
use to end with "ize" but is now becoming standardized with Oxford 
English sources with "ise" instead.  That came from a WiKi page.  en_US 
and en_GB versions are different with Oxford in that respect.  That is 
like the four French dictionaries shown in the Extension Center.  Each 
have "their" preferred spelling "standard" of words as the language changes.
