Many otherwise intelligent and talented people have trouble spelling correctly, and yet a single misspelled work on a letter or important document creates a bad impression, and can even damage job prospects or networking opportunities. Yet the way traditional dictionaries are organized makes it very difficult for misspellers to look up words unless they already know how to spell them. Computer spell-checkers can be a big help, but they don't address the issue with homophones--a big spelling problem for those who write down words based on how they "sound." Finally, here's a solution for all of the frustrated misspellers who can't spell a word well enough to find it in a dictionary. 1,001 Commonly Misspelled words features an easy-to-use phonetic access system, so that readers don't need to know how to spell words correctly before looking them up. In addition, readers get handy memory techniques (i.e., there's a "rat" in separate) and other tips so that they can remember correct spellings in the future. Lean and mean enough to carry around and use easily, 1,001 Commonly Misspelled Words is comprehensive enough to protect readers from the words they are most likely to get wrong..
