Changing Default dictionary in Photoshop CS6

I've exhausted every avenue I can find to change the default dictionary in the workspace: typography from US English (now that's an oxymoron if I ever saw one!) to British English. Every time I open a document I get US English as the dictionary. It matters not if I open a photo or something with text in it. Sometimes when I'm in a hurry, I forget the default dictionary is American and get a blast from clients for my spelling.  Can someone please inform me how to change the default dictionary so that new documents all display British English?

I am having the same problem and the setting is not sticking. It's fine when I look at the character palette. But when I go to spell check it goes back to Spanish. See both images.

The Dictionary setting is designed to be a "sticky". If you open a file that has US English setting saved in it, it will change your UK setting to US and you have to manually move it back.
