From version 7, VIM has a built in spell check function, but disable by default.

Enable/Disable

You can use :set spell and :set nospell to enable and disable it. The spell check isn’t only for English, use :echo &spelllang to confirm the current target langurage. Use:set spelllang=en_GB.UTF-8 to change the target langurage, also you can use set spelllang=en_us,nl,medical to set it to multiple langurage.

Spell check

Use ]s to move to the next, [s to move to the previous spell mistake.

Correct the mistake

Use z= to list the suggestions of the spell mistake, and input a number to select.

For some special work, use zg to add it as user work. And use zw to delete it.
