Not sure of the correct spelling of a word? Or what it means?
Use Google.
Open everybody’s favourite search engine, enter the word, and hit search. Google will automatically question the spelling of the word if it thinks it’s at all questionable, or that you might have actually been looking for something else.
Sometimes, however, mostly thanks to the growing number of websites compiled by foolish people that use the wrong spellings of words, Google won’t question what you have entered. Hence, we should learn to use the define: feature.
Open Google. Enter define:keyword.
Literally enter that. (Note the colon). Google will return this page. Pretty cool, huh? Try it again, entering any word - or even phrase - you like. Most of the time - the vast, vast majority of occurances - Google will bail you out.
The define function is extremely useful when you want to quickly get to grips with a new word (or, as above, check the spelling). This will save you no end of embarrassment when chatting with your clever friends on MSN or your favourite forum.
In both cases you need to roughly know the spelling - it’s no good entering asdsadsad when you meant gibberish (as even Google isn’t that smart) - but once you get used to the system and Google’s fairly-slight expectations you’ll have a convenient and quickly accessible tool that you’ll use again and again.
