# Code Smell 98 - Speling Mistakes

*Spelling and readability are very important for humans and not important for machines.*

> TL;DR: Take care of your names.

# Problems

- Readability

- Harder to search terms in code.

# Solutions

1. Spellcheck your code.

2. Use an IDE with spellchecking

# Context

Many of us don't speak English as our first language. 

We need to have extra care for our texts and names.
