Maybe someone should check the system for all the various English 
versions as well.

I use en-US, but there are en-AU, en-CA, en-GB, and en-ZA versions of 
English out there, and maybe more as well.  I believe that en-AU and 
en-CA users would want en-GB, but would want to have their own spell 
check dictionaries.  I have seen an en-AU ".dic" file out there.  Right 
now the web site has en-US, en-GB, and en-ZA, listed for possible 
English language pack installs.

It might be nice to give Canada and Australia their own language packs, 
since they are their own language entities with some of their own 
spelling variations from British English, just like USA and South Africa 
has.  How many millions of English speakers are in Canada and 
Australia?  Should they get their own language packages, like South 
Africa has or USA has instead of the "parent language" of en-GB?
