Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Writing a lot of text in separate commands leaves a lot of room for spelling mistakes.
Exhibit A: Menderbor

Describe the solution you'd like
Spellcheck!

Describe alternatives you've considered
Writing all your text in a separate program, then going through the process of copy pasting everything back.

Hmm

This is an interesting idea but I'm unsure how to implement it. Spellchecking nowadays uses statistics based on how people spell things to determine the correct spelling for something. Unfortunately, this means that if enough people misspell something, a spellchecker will too!

If we were to implement spellchecking into Luminol it'd probably be best if everything was user defined. That way, any unknown words (like Menderbot) aren't highlighted as wrong, but the user can define common misspellings (like Menderbor) so that'd be caught.

Might even be better that way when we implement other languages! It'll be a lot of work adding a comprehensive spellchecker for every language we support.

I believe that would defeat the purpose of a spell check because you'd first have to make and discover a spelling error before it gets caught in the future.
I think instead of automatically adding a word based on statistics, the spellcheck dictionary would have to be manually updated via prompt, similar to how Discord does it:
