Yes, I already have spell turned on and set to en_us.

Without 'syn spell toplevel' nothing seems to be checked except the
preamble, including the Hello line that I added.

With it, your words are highlighted by spellcapcheck. I've changed
the original .tex so that they aren't highlighted as misspellings:

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\begin{document}
... a
... bee
... cat
... dog
... egg
Hello. do

\end{document}

Now they are still highlighted as having bad case, but not as misspelt.

The problem seems to be that spellcapcheck will pick up on anything
that ends with a period, including ellipses. This shouldn't happen.
