Here's the perfect answer to the question
"How can I look it up in the dictionary if I can't spell it?" Created by the editors of Webster's New World, this handy dictionary alphabetically lists the most common misspellings of more than 15,000 frequently used words, and gives the correct spellings in easy-to-read boldface type. Brief definitions help distinguish among the different meanings of many words. Readers are aided by syllable divisions that make it easier to remember the correct spelling, tips on becoming a better speller, and useful advice on avoiding common causes of misspellings. Easy-to-read page design helps readers quickly find the information they need. And now, many new words have been added, including many difficult technology terms, to make this the most up-to-date misspeller's guide available.

5.0 out of 5 stars Spell Checker Supreme, August 3, 2001
This review is from: Webster's New World Pocket Misspeller's Dictionary (Paperback)
So, you think your word processor spell checker is all you need. Wrong! I have used this book for years and reach for it often when the spell checker in my mind or the one in my computer are out to lunch. Let's see, a few bucks for the book and a few minutes to look up a word and I don't look like a stupid fool who can't spell. No question. Buy the book. It's only the cost of a lunch or a couple of cups of coffee at your favorite (barista empourium)--darn it, who borrowed my Mispeller's Dictionary? Hum...you mean this web page has no spell checker? Where's that book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Stuff for Students, May 2, 2006
By 
D. Webb (Long Beach, WA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Webster's New World Pocket Misspeller's Dictionary (Paperback)
I ordered this book to help my students who simply can't spell. I'm amazed at how many students use this handy book to help them write essays and to correct their errors. My students find it quick and easy to use. They also tell me that this book helps them catch mistakes that a spell checker won't. I highly recommend this book to teachers who are looking for alternative ways to help poor spellers succeed.

I'm a terrible speller and didn't know why. I'm much more educated on my mistakes now.
