Lovely solution and introduction to spellbadword() (which I've
not seen/used before). However, I'm curious why you chose to use
printf("%s", ...) instead of just using the contents.

So my reworking of Christian's idea:

:%s/\w\+/\=empty(spellbadword(submatch(0))[0]))?'':submatch(0)/g

The other catch (at least in English) is that words like "can't"
aren't found whole by "\w\+", so you might have to tweak the
regexp or 'iskeyword' to include apostrophes.
