SpellCheckin

Project to spellcheck my writing. Lately I have gotten back into writing. I guess I always have but I've notived it more. I want to develop a new blog for my writing. I have started using Nikola for blogging. It is powered by Python. I have been writing text in a nano. I'd like to develop a spell checker to fix the mistakes I write. IPython Notebook doesn't have a spell checker built in. Open up this notebook and edit this Markdown for errors.
