Spell check language?

Hello, I have been fighting with photoshop on this and finally decided to come and ask.
I have followed the steps of changing it in preferences, but, it doesn't work for the spell check.
I am in the UK, we have different spellings than US English. But the spell check, even though language is set to “English international”(why is there no English UK?) It keeps giving American spelling. Nothing I do seems to change this! 
It's frustrating and annoying. 
I have gone to preferences, Account  preferences, everything I can think of. I installed it in the UK, my location is the UK, so why on earth does it keep giving me american spelling?

If you open the Character panel (Window>Character), at the bottom should be a drop down menu where you can set English UK

Yes. I tried that. I tried to set it and use the spell check...went straight back to english US. I have tried to set it and restart and it went straight back to english US.
Its incredibly frustrating.
