Answer 2

I always use an electronic dictionary for spelling and the printed one for definitions. You would think that someone would come out with a spelling dictionary arranged by the way a word sounds. If you wanted to know how to spell photograph you would look up fotograf.

Answer 3

You can try looking for the word as you think it might be spelled. And yes, you spelled technology right. See, you didn't even need to see it in a dictionary.

Answer 4

Yes, you spelled it right. Technology.

Oh, and the dictionary isn`t really any help unless you know how to spell a word. Dictionaries are to tell you the definition of something.

Answer 5

You can always guess and check in the dictionary, but that could take hours if you have no idea about the spelling. Yeah, you spelled it right.

Answer 6

a dictionary isn't just used to learn how to spell words you don't know how to spell, its also used to find the meaning of the word
to find a word i don't know i just try to spell it the way it sounds

Answer 7

Of course you spelled it correctly.
Can you use it in a sentence for us?

Dictionaries are good for smashing flowers flat.
Sometimes you find a totally hilarious word that you just have to use.

Answer 8

UGH I hated it in elementry school going up to the teacher and asking her how to spell a word and she'd say "look it up in the dictionary" and I'd think "you f-ing douche, how the hell am I going to look it up if I can't find it cause I don't know how to spell it?!" some people are just so retarded.

Answer 9

That's a good point. When I hit spell check on here, they make me spell everything in a Canadian way (since I am on Yahoo Canada). So even if I want to type color, they correct me to type colour. Weird huh? Kind of off topic too. Sorry.

yes you spelled it right. I hardly ever use a real dictionary. I use dictionary.com or m-w.com. OR I type it into Microsoft word to see if that squiggly red line shows up or type it into my google tool bar.
