Suggestions are really based on edit-distance which is roughly measured as the number of single characters changes.

So to go from:

plowed

to

ploughed

is actually quite far in terms characters added, swapped, and removed, which is why phonetic suggestions such as used by aspell help.

As for self-defense vs self-defence, that is only a 1 character swap so as long as
self-defence is in the en_GB dictionary then it should have made the list. I will check if "self-defence" is in the dictionary.
