The existing aspell-based setup requires constant tending of the custom wordlist for standard technical terms it doesn't recognize. cspell bundles 50+ technical dictionaries that already cover most of these, reducing the custom wordlist from 90 entries to 23. The en-gb dictionary is included alongside en_us so both US and UK spellings are accepted — the docs use UK spellings in several places (deserialise/finaliser for serialisation concepts, parameterise in type alias docs).
