My wife always complained going through school as a child, that dictionaries were flawed instruments of learning. Basically they give you a book that supposed to tell you how words are spelled, but in order to look up the spelling of the word, you have to know how it’s spelled in the first place. Seems odd at first glance, now doesn’t it. Well, of course the intelligent answer to the problem is , that you don’t know how to spell the word perfectly to look it up, you just need to have some idea of the spelling. As long as you have some idea of the correct spelling, you can probably find it in the dictionary.
Well, most of the time that does work, but not always. That’s where computer dictionary software comes into play. Intelligent word check spellers are one of the best applications to come with the computer age. They’re still not perfect yet, but they do a pretty good job of guessing what word it is your trying to use, and giving you a list of highly probable correct spellings. With more and more writing being done online, in different multiple applications, there is still room for improvement. While every word processor comes with a spell checker, there are plenty of other programs that don’t. MSN messenger, and some text editors are just a few that come to mind. A word spell checker that works across all the programs on your computer is an idea whose time has come.
