I'm using Firefox and I have one. May I suggest you do a Google search and locate one.

There are spell check dictionaries available outside wordpress.com for British and other kinds of English, so how do I pick one?

(I do note that there may be plugins to do this, but wordpress.com does not allow them, and I'm not going to self-host.)
