Just some minor nitpicks

baden = bathe is not a spelling mistake unless you use it with an article.
Ich = I is only a spelling mistake, if it's not the first word of a sentence.
im = in the and ist = is are not spelling mistakes, unless they're the first word of a sentence.
However, AFAIK, Hunspell doesn't take punctuation into account and will ignore capitalization, unless a word only has a capitalized entry.

You can use the following simple German sentences without spelling mistakes as test cases:

Code:
<span xml:lang="de" lang="de">Morgen gehe ich im See baden.</span>
<span xml:lang="de" lang="de">Ich gehe morgen im See baden.</span>
<span xml:lang="de" lang="de">Das Baden ist hier verboten.</span>
If the new version works, they shouldn't be flagged. However, if you change "See" to "see" in the above sentences, it should be flagged.
