Yep. Did that here, too.
Ouch.
Btw, what about two words with a period in the middle?
Does it catch those on your system?

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Kurzweil ranked spelling bug report
I was just doing a little testing of ranked spelling in Kurzweil version
10. I wanted to see if it would incorrectly count words separated with a
long dash or double dashes as a single incorrectly spelled word. I think
that may no longer be a problem, but I discovered another more serious
problem.
I wrote some test sentences and some of them ended in a misspelled word and
an exclamation mark. when I ran ranked spelling the misspelled word was
found. I selected the correct spelling from the list and hit alt-A for
replace all. I then tabbed to apply and hit enter. The misspellings were
then recalculated. I was surprised to notice that the percentage did not
go up, so I examined the misspellings listed again. I found my corrected
words in the list with a capital I following them instead of the
exclamation mark that had been there. I corrected the word again and then
exited the dialog with okay. the sentences were now okay. I just can't
imagine why this would happen. I retested several times with different
words and got the same result each time. Could others experiment as well
to clarify the extent of the problem?
By the way, I love the message you get if you run ranked spelling and the
document does not have any misspellings.
