Hi again.  Thank you.  I appreciate the addition.

Your word choice here is slightly odd English.

When you 'increase' a spelling error check, you might better use another
word like 'improve' as 'increase' here tends to mean 'more errors' rather
than mean a new addition to the spelling correction list.

Next time, a better subject and commit message might be something like:

[PATCH] spelling.txt: Add maping -> mapping

Add an entry for maping and its mapping correction.

cheers, Joe
