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.
