Wish I'd figured out this tweak to .vimrc before:
set spelllang=en
autocmd BufRead,BufNewFile *.md setlocal spell
autocmd BufRead,BufNewFile *.txt setlocal spell
autocmd BufRead,BufNewFile COMMIT_EDITMSG setlocal spell
Getting spell checking in non-text files was just too annoying, so I turned it off.
Haven't come across a vim equivalent of Emacs' flyspell-prog-mode
which considers (programming) context before painting your file red,
but I haven't looked too hard either. Now at least, I get spell
checking in text, markdown and git commit buffers. And not in all
other files I open. Pretty neat, me thinks.
