Correct me if I'm wring but 'txt' isn't a Vim filetype. I'm guessing when your vim opens up files with the .txt extension they have no filetype. You can check this by running the command 'set ft?'. Instead you'll either need to turn spelling on for all files which I showed you how to do in a previous email or you need to change you common below to use the BufRead and BufNewFile triggers to turn on spell checking for any file with the txt extension. Something like
