About the problem Jürgen Spitzmüller is complaining, I really don't see the problem. The spellchecker usually holds all nouns (proper or not) that are common in a language. Guillaume is a common name in France, but it is not in Brazil, for example. So it is natural if a portuguese spellchecker mark this name as wrong. Acronyms and some company names are naturally always marked as wrong, specially because they need to be double checked. If that word is important, you must include it on your personal dictionary. Even the MS Word spellchecker (that is currently the most mature spellchecker IMO), you experience very same behavior (actually, it ignore capitalized words by default, but this can be changed). Therefore, I am against the idea of "if a word begins with an uppercase letter, treat it as correct". This is wrong, and I'm almost sure this is not desired in any language. BTW, in your example you mispelled "LyX": the last X must be uppercase, you typed "Lyx" instead. Using the suggested spelling, the word is marked as correct (at least when using the english dictionary). ;-) Cheers, --- Diego Queiroz
