adaption of spell checker for non-prose data entry

[Mike Marchywka]

I recently went out and got vim 8 for he spell checker and it seems pretty nice. I was curious
however if anyone has tried to adapt that for data entry rather than correcting
normal compositions. For example, I have this data entry system that defines a bunch of
nouns with allowed modifiers and I enter all the data in vi and then run a validation
program. It would be interesting however to highlight words that are not
in the noun list or not possible modifiers. The specifics are below but thought
some users may have other applications. Thanks.

It might work to define a syntax for your file format, and specify
certain regions to be spell checked. You can find some example syntax
files, usually they spell check comments.
