Updated the British English dictionary

as proposed in #73.
Well, someone had to do it... like I wrote in Proofing Tool GUI's site 
(in the README), people in charge of dictionaries vanished long ago 
because they don't want to waste time on free projects... that is where 
I appear... I am always involved on free projects to help the 
community... if I didn't embrace it, probably no one would, or maybe 
someone less qualified.

Yes, I am the maintainer of the English dictionaries for OpenOffice... I 
wanted to add all English dictionaries there but the e-mails of the 
other developers are dead... long gone... I tried all I could think of 
but they are unreachable.
