Curious Spell Checker behavior

Periodically, my spell checker will flag isolated words as misspelled. The
words are accurately spelled, but for some reason, the spell checker uses a
foreign dictionary (French or Spanish) for that word. When I manually
change the language back to US English (my mother tongue) the squiggle
disappears. The most recent episode flagged as misspelled several month
names: June and September (both used French), but not April.

Why?
 
Make sure you don't have "Detect language automatically" checked in the
Tools | Language | Set Language dialog.
