Spell check a file from the command line
For example, to spell check the file named letter
run
$ aspell check letter
the first misspelt word should be highlighted and an interactive menu should pop up where you can select suggested corrections, choose to ignore that word, add word to dictionary et cetera.
For more information, including how to add other dictionaries, run $ man aspell
to display the manual in your terminal.
