If they can't spell it in the first place, then they probably won't be able to find where it is in the disctionary!
Or they might even look up the wrong word!
I personaly find it easier to type it in google's search bar, and click the "Did you mean..." and copy that and throw it into dictionary.com haha

Most things in that list don't bother me too much because it rarely happens to me. I'm also a very patient and calm person. One thing that does get on my nerves is that barking dog that never shuts up. That can be taken care of though with several calls to the police or a dog warden. Than of course I feel bad because some family or a child can end up losing their pet and I think of when I was a kid and lost a pet and felt bad about it. Than I tell myself, oh well they should keep their dog under control and I don't care anymore or feel bad about reporting it. I always kept my pets undercontrol and my dog doesn't bark non stop. LOL. Another thing that would bother me is 5 clerks asking me if I need anything. I feel like saying, "Don't you think I'd ask you if I needed anything?". It always seems like when you do need a clerk, they are busy or you can never find them. Yep, they are always there when you don't need them. Yes, handicap spots at a roller skating rink. That's funny in a way. One other thing that bothers me are handicap spots all over the place like at a store such as home depot. Now I'm not against handicaps as I have a family friend who is. I don't mean to offend anyone either, but why is it necessary to have 15 handi capped spots at home depot? How many handicapped people go to home depot to buy lumber? I always get a big load of lumber there, leave it in the lumber cart at the front of the store in the pickup area. Than I walk down the parking lot past all the EMPTY handicapped areas to get my truck. In the meantime I am hoping nobody is stealing any of my wood. It'd be easier if there were one open spot in the front where the handicapped areas are that isn't a handicapped area so I could pull the lumber cart by the side of my truck and load it up. It's kind of hard to load a 16' piece of lumber down in the parking lot when there are other vehicles around you. What also bothers me is when people who are fat get handicapped placards. Why are they handicapped now, because they didn't exercise and now they have knee issues or get out of breath from walking too far. Maybe if they wouldn't have gotten fat, they wouldn't have a handicapped placard. They should park at the very end of the lot so they can exercise. Again these are only my views and no offense to anyone. If you get upset over my views it's most likely because you are upset over me telling the truth.

If a person knows the first few letters of the word, then he or she, with a little persistance, can find it in the dictionary. The process of looking up a word in the dictionary takes the looker a few steps closer to memorizing the spelling (unlike using a spell checker, which does the work for you). That is why I tell my students to get in the habit of looking up any word that they aren't sure of--eventually they will learn to spell the words.

You should be able to look up the word and it should help you spell the words also. It will help them spell the word. All you need is the first three letter if they can remember that then they shouldn't have any problems. It did for me. And you should learn how to spell.

You'd have to be half an idiot if you didn't even have a general idea on how to spell a word. You're trying to rationalize laziness by asking such a childish question. I'll guess you're about 15.

YES! Thank you! My parents always said to use the dictionary, and I always thought it was pointless. Glad to know I'm not alone.
