LaTeX spell checking
I did not have to look far to find a spell checker to use on LaTeX files, ispell -t filenamex.tex works fine, though it doesn't skip all things non-text, such as bibtex keys, but those are easily skipped.
I chose british english for now, might ask around and go for american if this is more appropriate.
