Use case or problem
I added a rare but existing word to the custom dictionary, e.g. “innovativeness”
Now I type “Innovativeness” with an upper “I” and it still gets flagged as incorrect.
I understand that this may be useful for proper nouns that should always be capitalized, but in the other way I’d rather have the capitalized version of the word recognized since it could start a sentence, be emphasized, etc.
Proposed solution
A global option that enables case-insensitive spellcheck for all custom dictionary words.
If that’s a problem for people with case-sensitive words mixed in, the custom dictionary entry syntax could be improved to support adding a flag to indicate whether word is case-sensitive or not, such as [i] suffix for case-insensitive. Ex: innovativeness[i]
But that would require more work on the parser (to be retrocompatible, no suffix would mean case-sensitive or “follow the global option”) and a new menu item "add to dictionary (case-insensitive) which makes the contextual menu bulkier.
Current workaround (optional)
I register both the noun and the same noun Capitalized in my custom dictionary.

I found this thread about enabling spellcheck for FULL CAPS / UPPERCASE words (OP says capitalized words but since that may mean Title Case, I prefer avoiding this word):
but oddly enough I just tested it and it’s already active. So I’m not sure what’s the current status on this one.
