I tested with LibreOffice 3.4.2 and indeed see no special Eng OED 
language or such that I can choose.
Note: this version already has an English dictionary installed.

I tested too in OpenOffice.org 3.2.1, where there is no installed 
English dictionary.
After installing the gb_oed dictionary I can select English GB as 
language for spellchecking.

So It seems as in in LibreOffice the already installed and the new 
installed merge.

If my assumption is correct, it could be solved by removing the 
pre-installed en-GB dictionary.
In my situation that could be done by removing the folder dict-en
from /home/cono/LibO342rc2/libreoffice3.4/share/extensions and restart.

But maybe it also works if you remove one file from the folder dict-en ?

HTH& regards,
