Here's a new one, I haven't yet entirely figured out with Google ...
What places do I need to modify to rid myself of all the US-isms?
I've changed the Region and Keyboard layout to British in KDE, and I also worked out that I needed to add a specific GB localisation package for Iceweasel.
So I guess you did:
$ sudo apt-get install kde-i18n-engb
?
What other places exist for setting the localisation? Are there any other applications which require additional GB localisation packages?
I installed the localization-config tool after reading about it online, but if I run "update-locale-config -l" there doesn't seem to be a mention of GB English ...
Some other things I usually try to remember to do are:
$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales
and add en_GB_UTF-8 (and sometimes remove the other ones).
And also
$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-data
select, "choose keymap from archlist" and then select the obvious choices.
Though you may have done this when you installed.
And maybe:
$ sudo apt-get install ibritish myspell-en-gb
