Could someone tell me what it the difference between the standard en_GB 
and the OED [Oxford English] version?


The .aff and .dic files for the OED version are from 2005.  I cannot 
find the en_GB outside the install files so I do not know what its dates 
are [in the .deb install files, the .aff and .dic dates use the install 
file date instead of the creation dates].

In your Extension Manager, Which English dictionaries are listed.  In 
the .deb install files for en_GB language pack, there are several 
version of English dictionaries to be installed; GB, US, AU, ZA.  Could 
one of these pass the problem spellings?  Could you deactivate or remove 
the ones you do not want to use?

Also, since the .dic files are really just a list of correct spellings, 
could the "flagged" words be missing?  I found a dictionary word list of 
over 200,000 words and it did not include "dictionary" in that list.  
Words can be missed.

Maybe you could remove the other dictionaries from the folder where it 
is stored.   My English dictionary files [in Ubuntu] are located at 
"/etc/libreoffice3.4/share/extensions/dict-en".  Or you could look into 
the .dic word list file and see if the incorrect spelling is listed 
there.  If so, you could always remove that word.
