For those who care about how thousands of other people see them through their writing, I recommend a misspeller's dictionary. I know the NY Times has one out; I imagine other publishers do, too. These handy devices are so arranged that if someone looks up a word the way they think it should be spelled, they will (often) find the correct spelling. Other methods of spelling improvement require a little more effort -- I learned by becoming a compulsive reader. Another way consists of learning a lot of spelling rules -- sorta dull.I'm not an English major, nor is my mom, but my husband is, and I spell better than he does. So there. And it's expletive, not explitive. And, before someone complains, "they" is used as a third person, sing., neutral pronoun. Wombat pur-ee!uiucdcs!uicsl!wombat
