Please see the manual. There are multiple ways to configure Aspell. A
personal configuration file will be your best bet.

If its not ".aspell.en.pws" I do not know where it will be. Is there no
other files that start with ".aspell" in your home directory?

Well, this is the only way I will be convinced Aspell is being used.
Also, it could be gedit is changing the settings. At this point I can't
really give you any more advice other than use strace on gedit and look
for any files opened with "aspell" or "en", etc in the name.
