	You say use
	a dictionary or look(1) to find the words then.  Did you ever
	stop and think about that silly suggestion.  Both these
	methods assume you know how to spell it so that you can look
	it up.  I can usually get the first letter, and sometimes
	the second, but the third is usually impossible.  If you
	want me to get it right, send me something that will tell
	me HOW to spell it, not that is is spelled wrong.

An excellent point.  Actually, I have seen several dictionaries
that arrange their words according to common (and not-so-common) 
misspellings.  ("The Bad Speller's Dictionary" is one I bought.)  
They can be very handy if your spelling isn't so hot.
