I'm curious: do you find them when reading, or you run a tool that finds them?I have two unconventional spellcheckers in my toolbox: https://jwilk.net/software/mwic https://jwilk.net/software/anorack I usually run them on diffs, like this: $ git pull ... $ git diff @{1} | grep ^+ | mwic [wade through the jungle of false positives]
Interesting. I run both through the entire repo.anorack(1) seems to be reasonable, in that it runs in under 1 second, and only has 138 matches. Many of them are false positives, but it's not unreasonable to go through them all.
$ time find man* -type f | xargs anorack | wc -l 138 real 0m0.971s user 0m0.691s sys 0m0.024sI could add a `make lint-spell-anorack` target to run it from time to time. Maybe you could special-case some of those false positives to make it even better?
mwick(1) seems to have an unreasonably huge number of false positives: $ time find man* -type f | xargs mwic | wc -l 139760 real 0m38.862s user 0m38.653s sys 0m0.224sIt seems it could get some help of understanding man(7) syntax to limit itself to text. I'm definitely not adding this one for now.
Also, it would be nice if both of them had a way of reporting errors to make(1) through an EXIT STATUS, which could also be documented in their manual pages.
