How do I set the dictionary that the spell check uses?

I want to use the an British English dictionary. Currently, it is highlighting 'colour' (color), 'recognises' (recognizes) despite the fact that the language preference on the Mac is set to British English and the spell check in other apps works fine.

Thanks

   That's interesting, I may have to look into it further. Right now it
   uses the system's ability to automatically guess the language, and if it
   can't it should fall back to the system language setting. If it's
   deciding on en_US instead of en_GB, I'll probably need to add an
   override preference. I'll look into it for the next update.

   Thanks,
   Brett

   OK. I'll reboot and recheck at some point.

   Hi!
   It's now Jan 2016 and I'm having this problem.
   Can't see an override preference anywhere.......
   I'm using Version 2.5.2 (909)

   I've fixed this in the direct version, but a large memory error has stalled the release of the updated MAS version. I'm working as fast as I'm able to get that resolved.
