(setq-default dotspacemacs-configuration-layers '(spell-checking))
#+END_SRC
** Spell Checker Configuration
The built-in Emacs variable that controls which external spell-checking program
is used is =ispell-program-name=, which can be set in your
=dotspacemacs/user-init= function if you do not like the default. It will give
priority to =aspell= if it is installed on your system. Another important
variable to be aware of is =ispell-dictionary= which will control the default
dictionary used by =ispell-program-name= (instead of using this variable you can
also use the key binding ~SPC S d~).
