That solution will not work in some instances. For instance, in Aphra Behn's
iThe Rover/i, there is a character named Willmore. If I add "willmore"
to the dictionary, this is obviously going to mess things up. If I type:

Willmore people be coming to the party?

Word will recognize that as completely okay. There should be a seperate
dictionary for names, but even that has it's flaws. Perhaps a "this is a
name" option when right-clicked would do. Either way, the issue of names
needs to be resolved.

If you don't want the spell checker to include the name, simply add it to
your dictionary and then Word won't see it as something that is spelled
incorrectly.

When typing a name, such as Mr. Soandso, or: Soandso said ..., word should

able to recognize that the word is a name and so not spellcheck it. I

think that this would be impossible given the amount of natural language

Ben,
I'm going to answer a question with a question. Do you suppose that you can
determine which of these are correct without knowing the individual?
