Want to learn a new word; complete a daily crossword, or just look of the spelling of a word? Then browse on over to http://www.merriam-webster.com/ A web site that has been around at least since I typed in my first www in the 90s, it’s a great site to go to when you are doing any sort of writing. Or just want to spend from free time doing a crossword or peruse (to read over in an attentive or leisurely manner) the Top 10 Lists. Merriam-Webster.com also has a children's section and an ESL(English as a second language) section
New to Toastmasters and have the "Word of the Day" responsibility in the agenda then Word of the Day is a wonderful place to go to find that unusual word. The web site also has a video section that deals with several areas on word use. I viewed the one that talked about the difference between "Affect" and "Effect."
Not all misspelled words are caught by spell check. When in doubt as to spelling and usage then http://www.merriam-webster.com/ is the web site that should be one of your favorites.
