Spell checker. On line dictionary. Google search. WTF?

I never thought of that. Good idea. My method uses the dictionary after spellcheck can't suggest it. Heck, here in the forum I go to my word processor when I'm stuck - I use Libre Office - and try different versions there until the spell check can suggest the right one. When that doesn't work I go to the dictionary. I'll have to go to google now. I seem to have an aversion to taking my hands off my keyboard or touchpad.

I write smut with the free Jarte editor. The nifty WordWeb dictionary / thesaurus comes bundled with it. WordWeb is quite handy for resolving immediate issues and creativity. I still run the text through a MS Word 2004 spellcheck as it is more convenient for full-document scans.

I think more generally, desperation breeds creativity. I know for a fact that I play better chess when losing than winning.

Type anything in Thesaurus and it suggests a few near about spellings.

Good advice. I do that when I'm really desperate, and sometimes I find a better word than the one I was looking for.

Google's new "Grammarly" application is great for offering up synonyms and antonyms along with its automatic spell check and instant grammar advice. Works everywhere while you are signed into the net on Chrome.
It even just spanked my hand for screwing up the possessive "its" ^up there^ and trying to make it a conjunction instead. Pretty cool add-on.

Huh, have to try this. I use "define x" or "X synonyms" into the search window all the time. Works wonders.

I 
the thesaurus in Word.
And the drop-down Google search box. Unfortunately, this doesn't work if the sentence is kinky, although it found 'dichotomy' earlier using 'virgin/whore'.
My spelling used to be impeccable when I was younger, but I don't get out much now (am virtually housebound) and definitely don't read the works of literature I used to. I think this starts to impact on your vocabulary.
In the late 90s, I spent over 4 months in Lisbon. During that time, my vocabulary usage was limited to what I learnt in Portuguese, and what others knew of English. I can recall returning to the UK and admiring how intelligent-sounding my friends were. 'Summit' was one particularly well-used word.

Is "Grammarly" supposed to be free ?
I couldn't get it to work even with a document in Google Docs.
Oh, and does it speak English English ?

Yes, it's free, HP. At least the basic (which is pretty damn lots more than "basic") Grammarly is. There are other paid add-ons, but I haven't seen a real reason to go there yet.
I used it in Google docs when I was doing some editing for a new writer the last couple months and seemed to work fine. I think you have to be signed into Google through Chrome though.
I have no idea if it recognizes and forgives English English. Lemme try and see.
I moved to the back of the car and opened the boot, so I could grab the big box I would be taking up in the lift. My endeavour to sneak it through security was stopped cold by the guard that should have been at lunch. I visualised an extended jail sentence as I sat handcuffed beside his desk waiting for the Bobbies to, show up.
Hmmm. It accepted all those, so evidently it is programmed to handle English English AND the Americanized bastardization of it too. (or is that "Americanised bastardisation"? LOL...both work!)

I might have guessed there'd be a catch.
Chrome is not high on my 'desirable' list (I distrust the Chocolate factory).

Use short words. The most used words are all short. Best selling writers stick with short words.

It's a very old circular joke that if you don't know how to spell a word you look it up in the dictionary, and can't find it there because you don't know how to spell it. This joke completely falls apart in the modern era of computers with various tools that will make usually-accurate guesses about what word you are trying to write.
These days the real problem is homophones, especially the rarer ones.

Of coutse, there's always the printed dictionary.
It has the advantage of giving the reader a fair crack of the whip at words. .

* Rebuilt engine

* Schwantz: comes from the German and Yiddish for tail.
* Snake, python, and cobra are popular if obvious modern metaphors for penis.
