It is because the spellchecker is for French.

Hence the French word (ESSAYER) is suggested for (SAWYER). Proper nouns (TOM), (MARK), (TWAIN) seem to be included in the spellchecker, but not (SAWYER). Of course all other words are not identified as French, and as such they denoted as having wrong spelling.

I downloaded the file and it has French as default language.
I do not have French spellchecker, but Arabic! So All words are denoted as having wrong spelling!
When I changed language to English, the spellcheck warnings disappeared.
