I wrote a shell script to do it: ----- # aspell - add misspelled words to end between <<<<< AND>>>>> tee /tmp/aspell$$ echo "<<<<<" /TMP/ASPELL$$ ECHO SPELL>>>>>" rm /tmp/aspell$$ ----- In vi, 1G!Gaspell will put mispelled words at the end of your document. If it destroys your document, you can always hit u, of course (I can think of no reason it would, but I always fear blowing away my text when I do !'s). You can use this on any part of your text, but 1G!G is the best idea.
