Let's talk about one of my most used (and favorite) features in Neovim, the spell checker!

🚀 SUMMARY:
The "spell" features in Nvim are super powerful ways to get modern spell checking in your neovim editor. This has become an integral part of my workflow. In this video, we'll explore setting up the spell checking, navigating spelling mistakes, fixing misspelled words, adding "good" words to your `add` list, and more!
