Spell checking works in gedit for me, and I believe the only dictionaries I have installed are words, and aspell-en. Maybe try gtkspell too if those don't work.

Edit: Trying to learn how to use lsof, it looks like it's most likely aspell and it's dictionary

Just install the gnome complete locales for your system. Maybe there is an easier way out there, but I am pretty sure that it will do for you.

you need aspell-lang (aspell-en for english)

@thestinger - thank you. I actually found this out on my own and came back here to update the thread.
