on the command line you can ignore texinfo:

aspell --mode=texinfo check file.itely 

You should be able to set the mode in emacs, I think.

It works well

 

From memory (not at home…):
I use tools/spellcheck/check_region after having selected a paragraph.

You can "add" some terms to your personal dictionary, or toggle them for the session, IIRC.

add all the english terms one by one? oh no

Why can't I just say "ignore english" or "ignore any language other than LANG"
