How to overcome the problem of spelling/grammar mistake in markdown?

When I write articles in markdown I occasionally face the problem of spelling and grammar mistakes.

What is the best way to deal with this problem?

NOTE: I use vs-code text editor for writing articles.

There's a spell checker extension for vs code! For grammar, I run my posts through Grammarly after writing and just correct there. Not sure if there's a way to do it directly in VS Code though.

An additional +1 for Grammarly. I use the free plan and I love it. The offer a premium plan, but I recommend you use the free plan for now as they regularly (every month or so) send a promo code to your inbox for 40-50% off the annual price.
They have browser extensions that could help as well.

Yes, there is a spell checker but it doesn't search the mistakes as some other word processor software like: Microsoft word

I recently install an extension Code Spell Checker. What it does is providing a basic spell checking that also supports camelCase.
And I have been using Grammarly chrome extension for months now, it is an awesome service. getting a VS Code extension wouldn't have been the wrong option from you guys.
