Could you try

Then change all of the language settings to English (UK) instead of 
whatever the default version is.

Also, depending is you are in the UK or Canada, there is a Canadian 
English Spell Checking, Hyphenation and Thesaurus that I found listed on 
the Extensions Page on the test site of the North American Community DVD 
project.

Below is the link to the Extension Page and also the direct link to that 
".oxt" file.

Also there is an English Chemistry Dictionary and an Australian Medical 
Dictionary listed on that Extension Page.

I did my best to find every ".oxt" spelling , thesaurus, and hyphenation 
dictionary that is available for LibreOffice.  I may have missed one of 
two, but I have about 180 of them in the list[s].  There even is an 
English one that is described as "English dictionaries with fixed dash 
handling and new ligature and phonetic suggestion support".

It would be nice to have a separate English (UK) dictionary file like 
you can get for US, Australian, Canadian, New Zealand, and South African.

According to the Tools > Language >> Locale setting list for the default 
English install for Ubuntu [.deb], the following English Languages are 
listed:

Australian, Belize, Eire, Chana, India, Ghana, Jamaica, Namibia, New 
Zealand, Philippines, South Africa, Trinidad, UK, USA, and Zimbabwe [ if 
I did not miss one].

But the User Interface list is just USA and UK English, so far, but I do 
not remember if I installed the UK language pack or not.  There is 
en_GB, en_US, and en_ZA [South Africa?] language install listed for 
download/install on the "LibreOffice.org/download/" page.

I do not know what is installed by default with the Windows all 
languages, or multi-language versions.  But the above list of locale 
languages English is pretty large.
