The problem is in case-sensitivity.
Running the attached example outputs:
word "Christmas" - is correct
word "christmas" - is out of dictionary
word "USA" - is correct
word "usa" - is out of dictionary
Some people are using "christmas" and "usa" lower-case words.
Can libaspell spelling be tuned to be non-case-sensitive?
Very truly,
