I'm not seeing what you do but I did uninstall British, Australian and other English spell check dictionaries because I felt I didn't need them. I only have the English_US dictionary. Note that Language Settings warns me that I'm missing those deleted English dictionaries but my system still functions correctly.

For example, US English has "color" and British English has "colour." In my case I want US. If I look at Tools-> Set Language-> I see a list with English on top followed by six specific English languages and Turkish. If I select "English (United States)" I get the dictionary I want but only for this Gedit session. There is no way I can find to always use US English so every time I open a Gedit session and want to spell check I have to specifically select Language. I attempted to delete the other dictionaries in the Synaptic Package Manger but since the languages are part of an umbrella package I'd create problems the next time I wanted to upgrade to a new Ubuntu release. I also tried the configuration editor but no parameter for language was available. I can't recall having to specify language with each Gedit session in past Ubuntu releases. There needs to be some way to set the default Gedit language for the spell checker plugin. My expectation is that once a language is selected it should stay the language until I manually change it.
