STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Set language to British English 2. Run spellcheck in Kmail or Kate 3. OBSERVED RESULT "endeavour" is flagged as incorrect, with "endeavor" suggested as correct spelling.

"sudo apt-get install hunspell-en-gb" seems to have solved the problem. Not sure why I was being given the option for UK English if the dictionary wasn't installed, but working OK, now.
This looks like the same problem as bug 470490. I'm marking this as a duplicate of that report. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 470490 ***
