I can confirm these duplicate dictonaries with Firefox in Edgy. In my case, I have the en_CA locale, and I have the same 4 options: "en_US", "English/United States", "en_GB" and "English/United Kingdon"; but these 4 options should be really 2.
Wim ==> Firefox 2 has spell-checking when you enter text in a online form. For a good example go at google.com, enter a search term, then right click on the text area and you will have the chance to spell check what you just typed. That's new with Firefox 2, and it works in Edgy by default.
Ralf ==> US english and UK english are different for some words, thus the 2 dictionaries. A word like color (US) and colour (British) have different spelling in each country, thus depending on your country or background, an user would need one or the other english dictionary.
