How do I disable spell checking in shell buffers?

Fairly pointless to have spell checking turned on in shell buffers
(vterm & eshell, via aweshell).  My internet foo is weak today :smile:

Tried:
```
(remove-hook 'eshell-mode-hook #'flyspell-prog-mode)
(remove-hook 'eshell-mode-hook #'spell-fu-mode)
(add-hook 'eshell-mode-hook (lambda () (flyspell-prog-mode -1)))
(add-hook 'vterm-mode-hook (lambda () (flyspell-prog-mode -1)))
```
As examples, but they don't work.

how do you enable it? maybe it's easier to turn it on for prog-
mode/text-mode only?

Good idea will give it a go.

Nope.  Tried:
```
    (use-package flyspell
         :ensure t
         :straight t
         :config
         (add-hook 'prog-mode-hook 'flyspell-mode))
```
Still getting underlining in vterm & aweshell.

not related, but one doesn't use :ensure and :straight together, and
there's also :hook keyword

try to not enable hooks at all and just run M-x flyspell-mode
manually, will it affect vterm in such case?

Yeh, just knocked it together quickly, hadn't spotted my error.

Looks like one of my (poor) attempts to fix this has broken a lot more
in my config, going to have to break it down and remove all the crud I
just put in.

Spell checking isn't enabled in *any* buffers by default, so... find
where you're enabling it and address the problem there.
