+1. Ignore the word in the local markdown file by adding a comment to the file, like below. The word is not case-sensitive, and the comment can be placed anywhere (inside a markdown cell, in the source part). Note that in the text editor, each line is surrounded by quotes and ends with \n.

 ```
 {/* cspell:ignore hellllooooo, ayyyyy */}
