+===========
+Spell Check
+===========
+
+QEMU uses British or American English in code and documentation. There
+are some typical spelling bugs which can be easily avoided by using
+tools like codespell.
+
+codespell is a python script which detects (and optionally fixes) the
+most common spelling bugs.
+
+If you installed codespell in your HOME directory, it can be called from
+the QEMU source directory like this::
+
+ ~/bin/codespell.py -d -r -s -x scripts/codespell.exclude -q 2
~/share/codespell/dictionary.txt
+
+``-x scripts/codespell.exclude`` excludes some known lines from the check
+and needs a file which is not yet committed.
