Dictionary in NetSpell

I need to go over all of the words on a list and check if they are
valid English words in my C#.NET program.

Through searching online, I've found NetSpell API package which is
primarily used for correcting mis-spelled words.

With no documentation about this NetSpell, I did some experiment and
concluded that the "SpellCheck" method is the one that I need because
it tells me if a word is in an English dictionary (because its return
type is bool). I concluded that If it returns true, it's not in the
English dictionary, while if it returns false, it is in the English
dictionary.

However, I start to doubt if the "SpellCheck" method is what I think
it is because I've encountered some examples that do not seem right.
For instance, "AES" is not an English word and therefore should not be
in the English dictionary, however, it returns false.

FYI, below is the code that I use to check each word:

bool check = SpellChecker.SpellCheck(word);

Anyone with knowledge about this API can provide some advice?
