Cut and paste your code into anything that does spell checking. For 
instance, I am answering this with Mozilla Thunderbird, and 'lcose' 
above is underlined in red, though not here because of the single versus 
double quote. (So is 'txt', but one just has to ignore intended 
non-English words.)

OpenOffice would do just as well, and that lets you add custom 
dictionaries. For instance, I have a Python dictionary to which I add 
things like 'def' as needed.
