I understand one would use a dictionary, while reading a book, for words one doesn't know well, right? So what are the advantages of having a UK dictionary vs a US dictionary in this instance?

It's not like the dictionary is going to spellcheck what you write (in which case differentiating UK-US spellings might be useful), it's just for looking up words you don't know.

So what do you mean by being stuck with a US English dictionary?
