I assume you have a script/tool of some form to do spell checking?  If so, can
you point me at it?  I'd love to incorporate something like that into my workflow.

Thanks!

https://github.com/ColinIanKing/kernelscan

It needs an appropriate dictionary to be installed. It's very fast (but 
sometimes makes mistakes, I need to fix those!).

./kernelscan -k src_directory > mistakes.txt

I normally run this across the entire kernel git repo on a daily basis, 
and diff the new results with the previous results using meld and figure 
out what needs to be fixed.

You may be better off with using codespell

Ah, it's specifically checking messages to avoid false postives on code and whatnot.
Neat!

Heh, my kind of nitpicking people :-)

  MSDOS->MS-DOS

Thanks a ton, that's exactly what I was looking for!

For anyone following along and/or laughing at me, checkpatch even supports using
codespell, e.g.

  ./scripts/checkpatch.pl -g HEAD --codespell

checkpatch also uses a misspelling dictionary that I occasionally 
contribute to with common spelling mistakes that I find and fix.
