I've installed Texmaker (via MacTeX using Homebrew) and noticed that the spell checker has been set to British English. Thus is marks "color" as a misspelling and suggests "colour" as an alternative.
How can I switch Texmaker to use US English as the language of the spellchecker? (It would be even better if I could get it to use the same spellchecking library as the rest of macOS so that my learned spellings will be applied).
Related, but not duplicate:
- TexMaker: switch dictionary / language confortably, which is concerned about per-document dictionaries. I would like to change the global dictionary.
- How can I change the TexMaker interface language?, which is about changing the user interface language, but not the spellchecker (my interface language is already set to "en").

Choose "Option" in the menu line, then "Configure Texmaker". Click on the icon on the left side marked "Editor", and you will see the following:
Click on the icon besides en_GB and chose en_US from the file lists.
Double click on the file or click "Open". Then click "OK" on the next dialogue box to save the new setting.
