2021-06-30Don't use codespell's "rare" dictionary for CI spell checkper1234
The word "statics" was recently added to codespell's "rare" commonly mispelled words directory. By default, this dictionary is used in addition to the more conservative "clear" dictionary, resulting in a spurious failure of the "Spell Check" CI workflow. Although this could be fixed by adding the word to the ignore list, it seems that an increasing number of common words being added to this dictionary, so I think it's best to just remove it altogether. The goal for the "Spell Check" workflow is to catch some typos without a significant number of false positives, even if that means some misspellings slip through. I think the "clear" dictionary is more in line with that goal.
2021-05-26Add CI workflow to check for commonly misspelled wordsper1234
On every push, pull request, and periodically, use the codespell-project/actions-codespell action to check for commonly misspelled words. In the event of a false positive, the problematic word should be added, in all lowercase, to the ignore-words-list field of ./.codespellrc. Regardless of the case of the word in the false positive, it must be in all lowercase in the ignore list. The ignore list is comma-separated with no spaces.
