+#### Spellchecking documentation
+
+Documentation are spellchecked. We make use of the
+[markdown-spellcheck](https://github.com/lukeapage/node-markdown-spellcheck) command line tool,
+which can be run in interactive mode to correct typos or add words to the ignore list
+(`.spelling` at the repository root).
+
+To run the spellchecker, follow the steps as follows:
+  * install [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/) (v6.4.0 or up)
+  * install [markdown-spellcheck](https://github.com/lukeapage/node-markdown-spellcheck) by
+`npm install -g markdown-spellcheck` (v0.11.0 or up)
+  * run `mdspell "**/*.md" --ignore-numbers --ignore-acronyms`
+  * if the `.spelling` file is updated, commit and push it
