I found here and here how to force Vim spell checker to ignore words with capital letters from being check. But my case is quite opposite. I want to ignore words that in corrected form include capital letters.
So in sentence:
europe was chozen best
only word chozen is the wrong one.
How to achieve that?
Thanks for any hint.

This answer was posted first by Rich on vi&vim stackexchange:
I don't think that Vim has a setting for this. One workaround is to create a new spellfile that contains everything in your current spell file(s) but with lowercase letters only:
Create a new buffer containing everything from the spell file(s) currently in use:
:spelldump
Delete lines that don't contain any upper-case characters. This isn't strictly necessary, but there's no point keeping duplicate entries for lower-case words:
:v/\u/d
Convert the entire file to lower-case, ignoring lines that contain the locations of the spell files:
:v/^#/norm gu$
Save the file:
:w ~/.vim/spell/lowercase.utf-8.add
Start using this file in addition to the standard files in Vim's
$VIMRUNTIME
directory. Note that Vim uses a default'spellfile'
value internally if the setting is empty, so if you already have any existing spell files, you will need to ensure that they are included in this setting (which accepts a comma-delimited list)::set spellfile=~/.vim/spell/lowercase.utf-8.add
Note that if you set this option in a running instance of Vim, it doesn't seem to take effect for spell-checking until you interact with it (by, e.g. using the
zg
command.)The above doesn't affect the way that Vim detects lower-case words at the start of a sentence as spelled incorrectly. You can disable this with the
'spellcapcheck'
option::set spellcapcheck=
