Making typos in source code is something that happens all the time. For code itself, tools like language servers help us to notice it by showing error diagnostics or avoid it by offering autocompletion. But what about comments?

I make typos all the time and recently my review was full of typos. So I decided to bite the bullet and set up spellchecking in my favorite editor (neovim).

To start spell checkiing

:set spelllang=en
:set spell

]s - next misspelled word [s - previous misspelled word z= - show spelling alternatives for the word under cursor zg - add word under cursor to personal dictionary zw - remove the word under cursor from personal dictionary
