I still don’t know if I am not a good writer because I don’t write anything, or I don’t write anything because I am not a good writer. Maybe it’s just a matter of practising it more.

In any case, I admire people who writes well, and who also share their thoughts and knowledge to others. So, what if I could overcome this limitation of mine, as a person who does not write, and become someone I would admire? :D

That’s why I started writing here. Put my thoughts and learns out while I practise my writing skills.

Today, my good friend Lucas Caton, reviewed my previous posts and spotted a few mistakes I made. Also, he recommended me to use some kind of plug-in in my editor, to make it easier to see. What a great idea!

Then I went to search on the web, how I could have such feature enabled on my Vim, and the first result that DuckDuckGo gave me served perfectly. In short, :set spell spelllang=en would make it happen.

Initially, I only plan to use spell checking when editing markdown files, so I added the following like into my .vimrc file:

autocmd FileType markdown setlocal spell spelllang=en_au

It will tell my Vim to enable spell checking using Australian English dictionary whenever I am editing a markdown file. Wrong words will be highlighted, then I can use the keys commands ]s and [s to jump through these words. Use z= over the words in order to get suggestions.

Check the article linked below for more detailed information. I loved it!

Thanks Lucas for this amazing idea.
