how to change the universal spell checker to British English?

[Longey Nowze]

I have Snow Leopard, I went to the Dictionary application and changed the preference to "British English (IPA)" but it still checks things like colour as misspelled. is there something I am missing? I went to System Preferences>International and under the Text tap changed spelling to "British English" but still it flags colour as wrong... am I missing something?

Thanks

What applications are you spell-checking in? For example, remember that Microsoft Office uses its own dictionary rather than the universal one, configured from within the app itself.

This might help, it fixed it for me!

System Preferences > Language & Text, then Text tab, for spelling select British English.
