Spelling
Spelling correctly is an important part of literacy and can cause difficulties for both the native and non-native speaker of English. On a positive note, technology has provided us with a spelling tool in our computers, which is handy when engaged in the writing process; however, remember that the spell check is not 100% accurate, as it will accept all English words, whether they are the correct ones or not. For instance, a spell check will except both words in the following pairs, since it is insensitive to context: whether/weather; write/right; hear/here.
Generally speaking, the main tool at our disposal when it comes to finding the right word and its correct spelling is the dictionary, whether it be a printed book, or an on-line version of the same book. Please go to the Dictionary section on this platform to learn all you need to know about dictionaries and find links to useful on-line resources, including corpora.
