Is GNU Aspell the best spell checker for emacs on macOS?
Hunspell seems popular as well. I believe it's the one used by Firefox and LibreOffice, and I think it's the system spell checker in MacOS already? 🤷♂️

Why don't common browsers use Soundex for spelling suggestions?
Almost all browsers use the Hunspell library for spell checking. You should investigate what methods it uses for stemming and suggesting corrections. How does that algorithm work for non-English languages? The main variation you will see between browsers in spelling suggestions is the base dictionary that is used.

Does anyone know how to change the dictionary that W10 pulls from? Ideally replace with Google's brain?
I don't think so. Looking at the Chromium source it appears to use Hunspell. This is an okay spell checker, but not AI based AFAIK, only "Morphological analysis, stemming and generation".

Autocorrect anything with Google as a go-to spell check
Are you familiar with Hunspell? Dictionaries are comprehensive enough to be part of different Office Suites, so I don't see them as constricted to autocorrect.

Plugin request: cspell.nvim
CSpell is a great spell checker for code. It can be added as a source to null-ls. However, a lot of features are missing when it's used from null-ls, for instance the ability to ignore certain paths. According to this comment in a null-ls thread cspell would need its own companion plugin.

Spell and grammar checking an entire website?
I use cspell CLI to test for spelling errors at build time so that spelling errors cannot get committed. It's very easy to automate to avoid introducing errors. I don't know of an offline library to check for grammar though.

JS React .concat('...') only when there is more text
Are this.state.representative and this.respresentative supposed to be the same thing? First off, they are misspelled, second, not the same property. Highly recommend at least using a code spell checker cspell and VS Code - Code Spell Checker if you aren't going to use TypeScript or ESLint.

Need criticism, a stock watchlist
You could definitely use a spellchecker. cspell is a great programatic spellchecker that you can add to your commit or build validations to enforce that things are spelled correctly.
