There are plugins to do this much better, but, if you like to have most of the stuff placed on your vimrc file, the following must help:

map ,SS :exec system("ispell -l -t -d br < ".expand("%")." \| sort -u \| sed 's/\\(.*\\)/syntax match Underlined \"\\\\<\\1\\\\>\" contains=TOP /'")

Basically, i use 'ispell' to collect all misspelled words, and assign each one to the 'Underlined' syntax group (seems better than 'Error')

Improvements aren't so hard to do; actually, I use another mappings for another 'spell' functions, but the essential can fit in just one line.

Of course, "-d br" option of ispell are only applied to Portuguese documents.
