I suppose this isn’t particularly noteworthy, but I’m pretty excited. I’m working on some website copy and I decided I needed to figure out how to do spellcheck in Emacs. It turns out it’s pretty slick.

In Org-mode, I select a region I wish to spellcheck by going to the heading and keying ‘C-c @’. Then, the command for spellchecking an active region is ‘M-x ispell’.

That launches you into an efficient check and replace process from the start of your selected region to the end.

I’m becoming a bit of an oddball, I think. I prefer VIM for writing code, but for writing text and for organization, I prefer Emacs. Org-mode is awesome. You should check it out.
