systemsettings5/Regional Settings - strange choices

[Peter Lewis]

I run openSuse Leap and concur that the regional settings are difficult.

My main beef is that the spell checker will not use en_gb if the USA 
dictionary is loaded. I have to unload the USA dictionary before I can realise 
the GB English spelling (rather than having to realize the US).

systemsettings5/Regional Setting/Formats/Detailed Settings only gives me 
options of countries rather than metric, imperial, ISO or any basic systems.
