User Agent String In 11.60 Has Incorrect Language Code In US

I live in the US and I went to http://whatsmyuseragent.com/ and it gives me the following user agent string.
Opera/9.80 (Windows NT 6.0; U; Edition United Kingdom Local; en) Presto/2.10.229 Version/11.60


Obviously not the correct string, I checked my preferences and in the operaprefs.ini file, everything is set correctly.

Detected Country Code=US
Active Country Code=US
Active Region=us


The language in the preferences is set to English (US) en-us.

A smaller complaint, the words 'blog' and 'online' are not in the spell check dictionary.

I'm on Vista x64 SP2
I filled the bug DSK-352717

This means that you (at one point) installed the UK English version of Opera, as opposed to the “international” English (aka US English) version. The “Edition United Kingdom Local” label does stick around a bit, even after upgrade, but can be eliminated by opening opera:config#ISP|Id removing the string and pressing the Save button.
