Can the spelling checker be trusted?

I've seen this error and do not use Franklin Gothic Demi, so I don't 
think it's specific to that font. I've also encountered it in paragraphs 
that have no overrides or character styles applied at all.

It seems like the spell checker makes the assumption that your most 
likely error is omitted spaces, if it can find any smaller words in your 
misspelled word. If the assumption were instead that your most likely 
mistake was to have misspelled a single word, the first suggestion would 
more often be correct.
