If it's all the same to you, I'll post it up here in case others wanna also follow suit.

I'm on Linux Mint. I installed these Atom packages: linter, linter-ui-default, linter-pylama, spell-check. I also needed to install on my system (so using apt): hunspell, pylama, pyflakes, pylint. Finally, in the Atom settings for linter-pylama check the box for "Use PyLint".

The spell-check package does the .md files (you can change what files it spell-checks of course). And pylint within linter-pylama checks the spelling of your .py comments, as well as of course linting your code. I also use atom-beautify to help automate a lot of the linting.

I use many other packages but these are the basic ones for spelling and linting. Hope that helps!

Oh, and one last thing I forgot to mention: you may need to create a file at ~/.pylintrc with the line: "spelling-dict=en_GB" (or indeed en_US for you) in order to enable pylint's spell-checker (for comments in .py files).

I am always a little baffled by the way you all say "poor" as if it's the same as "floor" or "pore" — that one was really mind boggling when I realised it.

That one and the lack of yod coalescence, in certain cases, like for words like "tube". That is: you all say it like toub, I grew up saying it like choub. But I'm not from the UK myself either so it's obviously more complex for me than a fully native UK person.

But back to Atom and linting, I'm still very disappointed by how slow it is to actually pick up on linting problems. It's actually frustrating. I wish it wasn't so but I can't spend longer on this realistically as it should not be such a laborious task.
