Spellchecker which ignores Upper Case Words

Greetings,
Can anyone recommend a spellchecker which ignores Upper Case Words?
When I have text with placenames or personal names I would like to have a spell checker which ignores this text or any other words in Upper Case.

Thanks,
WV-Mike
p.s. Is there such a plug-in for Sigil?

Two solutions
1) Add such words to a dictionary used by the program (Possible in Calibre). I use option #2 listed.
2) Export/save/convert to LO Writer (perhaps via docx or copy/paste. Only edit odt and an extra Save As in docx). It can ignore capitals and also have any number of custom dictionaries. You can also easily edit LO Writer and MS Word dictionaries with a text editor aand easily edit the dictionary file header to copy LO Writer dictionary to Word or vice versa.

Only use Sigil or Calibre to edit html and /or CSS, not to edit content.
Sigil has a docx plug-in, but you seem to have to make your own CSS map.
Calibre maps imported paragraph styles 1:1 from docx perfectly as long as the LibreOffice Writer odt source styles have inhert="none" on all styles. Then you can edit epub further in Sigil if you prefer it

By "such words" to you mean people's names and the name of counties, cities, etc.? I need a spell checker to ignore any word in Uppercase.

This seems too complicated for my pea sized brain.
My ePub production is very limited. I am on my second one and do not see a third in sight.

Calibre and Sigil both have Case sensitive 'sorts' in the spell check.
Just scroll past the big letters
