    I never get why people think dictionaries help with bad spelling. If you don't know how to spell the word, how are you supposed to find it in a dictionary?

    Presumably if he knew that the pronunciation was at least reasonably correct then there are only so many ways to spell the word. A dictionary would help in that case.

    On the other hand, if he knows that a word exists but doesn't know what it is, dictionary.com has a Thesaurus section. And if he doesn't know what that means he can click here.
