Cool Idea!,
This review is from: Spelling Dictionary (Pocket Guides) (Paperback)
Looking up words in this dictionary is much quicker than in a regular dictionary. Mostly, you will just see the word...without any definition.It is a great idea because sometimes I write a word and look at it and think it is the strangest looking word I have ever seen. Sometimes the word is correct and my mind is just playing tricks on me, and sometimes I really need this book! A few times there are some mini-definitions. Poor (lacking wealth) Pore (of skin; to look or think intently) Pour (liquid) Just to prevent any confusion. There are also a few alternative spellings for words and they are listed together for you to decide which one to use. Is it mediaeval or medieval? The section on "commonly confused words" was educational and I have had my share of trouble with: desert and dessert when writing a cookbook. Just when I think I will never make THAT mistake again...there I go again. To make this book even easier to read, they have indented words like: Exclaimed and Exclaiming under the word Exclaim. A definite must have for all writers. ~The Rebecca Review

Awesome Resource,
By James Martin (Statesboro, GA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Spelling Dictionary (Pocket Guides) (Paperback)
This book is an awesome tool for those who misspell words frequently. You don't need to bother with an incredibly bulky dictionary with definitions when you know the definition of the word that you are looking for. Look it up in a spelling dictionary.

Lifesaver!,
By cathony (Honolulu, HI United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Spelling Dictionary (Pocket Guides) (Paperback)
I used to be a genius speller. I went to the National Spelling Bee as a child! I've been a professional proofreader at times in the past ten years! But chemotherapy caused a mental fog to set in, and I've lost my spelling ability. This book has saved my life and my self-esteem. Thank you for selling it.
