@jbampton thanks for the contribution, but we've decided this is a heavier approach than we really want - we'll continue just spell checking via manual PR reviews.

Found a better way to check spelling.  This Go tool does find mistakes in source code as well as Markdown. From my experience it does not work on all file types or find all the errors, but it does seem to work well on code comments
