But then 'Stallman' is a proper noun. It is not a word that you will find in a dictionary. Hence no spell checker will recognize it. Its not strange.
Most dictionaries recognise a number of proper nouns. In this case, for instance, it does recognise Richard.
I probably should have been more specific in what I meant by the word 'dictionary'. I was talking about dictionaries like Oxford, Webster, etc. I have never seen names in such dictionaries (the printed ones.)
