2. Have the ability to ignore certain words that don't fall into the chosen language. Very useful for Fantasy and Sci-Fi books.
3. It is flagging as incorrect words that use curly quotes. And where there is an em-dash and no spaces around it, the two words and the em-dash are being flagged as incorrect.
Other than that, no other major issues noted.

Ad 1. I think John is an US resident and therefore chosen US English. There are only a few languages available by default, others have to be done manually. It is a choice, probably to keep the file small.
Ad 2. You can use the user dictionary for that. It is easy to add and delete words to it. You can do it manually or right-click on a name in Code View.
Ad 3. This is known and I think a shortcoming of Microspell, but John will know better.
