Description

Followed on from #305

- spellchecking (e.g https://github.com/FlyBase/flybase-ontology-scripts/blob/master/misc/obo_spellchecker.py)
- punctuation
- correct casing (e.g. https://github.com/cmungall/capital-offence)

From @gouttegd

> at FlyBase we have a small pronto-based script to do some minimal validation of the text in definitions and comments
> https://github.com/FlyBase/flybase-ontology-scripts/blob/master/misc/obo_spellchecker.py
> It checks spelling and obvious typo mistakes such as missing or duplicated punctuation (it started as a spell-checking script only, hence the name).

Research direction

Start by reading the follow-up context in issue #305 and the referenced FlyBase spellchecker and capital-offence projects. Define validation coverage for spelling, duplicated or missing punctuation, and casing, then confirm that OAK reports these lexical problems consistently across the relevant text.
