I think I have figured it out. I was testing spellcheck in a very large base. Because of the 2000 issue, it would not get to 'D', so it wouldn't fix DeFirmian. The spellcheck feature works beautifully, except that it doesn't remove (wh) and (bl) at the end of the player name, which could be fixed easily by adding a %Suffix " (wh)" "" line.
