I can't see it stated anywhere, but I think en_GB-ize is supposed to
let me have something close to Oxford spelling (en-GB-oed).  When I
tried it, it didn't work for me.

Hello all,

FWIW, for me the same invocation now yields

which to me (yes, I not a native speaker) looks OK.

Maybe I'm missing something here, though ...

To choose a dictionary you need to use the `-d` option.

The `list` currently ignores positional arguments, which is why it
didn't return an error.
