Hi,

I doubt the Arch maintainer lacks that knowledge. Another reason is
certainly more likely.

However, after rebuilding the package [1] mcedit provides
F9 -> Command ->
  Spell check
  Check Word
  Change spelling language...

By a "Hello worlt" test, the spell checking suggested to replace "worlt"
by "wort" or "world" etc., IOW it's working now.

Regards,
Ralf

"FS#76361 - [mc] missing spell checking 
Details
Hi, mcedit from the package community/mc 4.8.28-1 is missing spell
checking. Building in a clean chroot after adding 'aspell' to
makedepends and adding --enable-aspell to configure of the PKGBUILD
solves the issue. Regards, Ralf" - https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/76361
