spell-word checks the spelling of the word under the cursor; I like this because it's compatible with editing source code.
Okay, checkSpelling: is also sort of compatible, in that it does check the spelling of the word under the caret, but if it's spelled correctly, it moves on to the next, until it finds a misspelled one -- so generally it's usable even when most of the text is code (the “spelled correctly” indication is then just that it selects the next word).
How does emacs indicate correct spelling of a word?
