You'd  have to modify the SELECT statement in SpecialMaintenance.php to
exclude specific articles from the spell check.  As a note, there have been
suggestions in Mediwiki to create a tag such as <nospell></nospell>.

Good question.  The Meetup pages just inform those not able to attend, so,
unless someone objects, why not just fix the spellings on those pages.

And did you notice the ironic "mispeelings"?
