Description
From http://fauxpasapp.com/rules/#rule-Spelling
Applies on systems that have either the en_US or the en_GB dictionary installed.
Warns if some words in code symbol names are spelled incorrectly.
This rule expects code symbol names to be in English (US and/or GB).
Both linux and mac os have /usr/share/dict/words which could probably be used for this, however performance implications should be considered.

Research direction
Start with the issue description and review SwiftLint's existing rule architecture and tests, since no implementation files or entry points are named. Determine how dictionary availability on Linux and macOS should be handled and what performance constraints apply. Done means a spelling rule checks English code symbol names and has coverage for the supported environments.
