It works! Thanks!

Yes! That was the problem. I removed the spaces and inserted normal space. I
did not realize/notice that other space characters were inserted here!

If I do a C-h v ispell-program-name, I get the following message: 

        'ispell-program-name' is a variable declared in Lisp.
        Value: "aspell"
        Documentation:
        not documented as a variable.

Thanks again!
