It doesn't matter what the dictionary is called. You can only add words to the default dictionary and then only if the language of that default dictionary matches the language applied to the word that you wish to add, or is designated as a dictionary for all languages.

So someone has to agree that a word should be added. Even if am an american (NOT) and I want to add a word. Why not. It could be a bronx slang word. WHY NOT.
If A word is not in the MICRSOFT dictionary, how does it know it is not an american slang word or if it is even american? is there a hidden dictonary of allowable words to add?

OKAY. I Belive I set this to UK. SHOW ME HOW.

To be able to add to the dictionary you need to access the correct dialog.
File > Options > Custom Dictionaries. Set a custom dictionary that refers to all languages and make it the default.
The language of the text determines which built-in dictionary is used. You cannot add to a built-in dictionary.
