Nice find haha. We can’t support all words perfectly, that would mean a huge database of cases (also an interesting project, but not here).

I’m sure there’s some other cases that are misclassified as well, especially of fictional characters. So I’m 🤷‍♂️ on ignoring this but also 🤷‍♂️ on accepting a PR to add it to problematic.json.
