That is a disturbing happening; having a spell checker not catching some
misspellings.

One possibility is, that the word not being caught was once found and
instead of being corrected, was in fact added into the spellcheckers
dictionary.  (Usually a custom dictionary). So you could try and see if
those words are in your spellchecker's dictionary. Open up a Word doc type
in one of the words that your spellchecker is allowing by, engage the
spellchecker and see if in deed it is not seen as a misspelled word. And if
it is being allowed by, there is a way to find a word and deleting it. (In
word's help you should be able to find the direction to doing this.) 

and of course, another option is to remove Word and then reinstall it. (I've
done this one; also fixed up a custom dictionary
Back in the days of the word processor called First Choice. 
So hey, it is fixable and with this spellchecker being a major tool for a
writer, the hassles to fix it is worth the time.
