| 383480 | 2005-08-24 19:23:00 | Yeah, it's called Google. Seriously. That's what I use when in doubt. If that doesn't help, I use the spell check in Word. Free, but effective. :thumbs: |

| 383485 | 2005-08-24 22:55:00 | Hi Cicero. Has some thousands more entries. Allows me to modify entries, has anagrams, has a neat find facility and if it does not have the word you are looking for will search countless other on-line dictionaries. Have forgotten whether the free version allowed me to choose English English over American English. The pro version does. Have a shufty here for some detail. Here (http://wordweb.info/) I'm also old fashioned, in that if I download a free programme and appreciate the work involved and its use, I frequently make a donation or upgrade..... |

| 383486 | 2005-08-24 23:58:00 | Google also provides definitions for the words you enter as well, in the top right often the word Defn will appear. Just click on it | netchicken (4843) | ||
| 383487 | 2005-08-25 01:43:00 | www.dictionary.com doesn't do a bad job of interpreting spelling mistakes. | Greg (193) | ||
| 383488 | 2005-08-25 02:21:00 | Another vote for Wordweb. :thumbs: And good for you Scouse, I also pay for stuff when I judge that it is really worth-while. | Winston001 (3612) | ||
