Get away from the morons here at Y!A. Read some actual books. The more you are exposed to correct spelling, the better.

Answer questions in Yahoo answers and try using new words you have heard or words you don't use often because of your spelling. Then click the Check Spelling icon and stand to be corrected.
Antidisestablishmentarianism is one I remember from television's 64 thousand dollar question game show a couple of years ago. Yahoo answers wasn't around then and nobody had a computer so it doesn't show up on spellchecker. The simple answer is practice and look up words in the dictionary and practice some more.
Read more, but stay away from liberal political dribble because you might start to believe some stuff you read for practice. Libble dribble is fiction that is written in such a way that it can be presented as fact when it is not at all factual.

One simple answer.
Read more.
I have read tons of books in my lifetime, and when I was younger, I won every spelling bee in elementary school. In sixth grade, I won state regionals. You just have to practice, practice, practice. Do you know in a lot of organizers, etc. there is a list of "Commonly Misspelled Words"? Well, just read through those, and your spelling should kick up a notch.
P.S. Oh no! No idea if "Misspelled" has one or two S's!

Yes, read lots of books. After a while you will instinctively know if a word is misspelled.

repeating something(repition)is the key to all learing.the more you see ,write,hear,and use a word,the more you will become familiar with it.
