Spell check on the fly isn't a good idea.
Too many "errors" which aren't errors but
acronyms, proper nouns, lingo, and just
ordinary everyday word which for some reason
aren't in the dictionary.
And, again, way too many for any sane person to
ever complete the dictionary with a local one.
Is my experience, at least.
And the consequence of this (too many false
errors) is a disruptive rhythm to your thinking
and typing process.
Ispell is better. Choose the biggest dictionary
you can find (e.g., the "iamerican-insane" in the
Debian software repos).
Here is some configurations and helpers on
ispell:
