Dictionary Recommendation
Whether I'm writing or editing, the dictionary I turn to is
Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary
. The latest edition (the 11th) includes a CD-ROM and one-year subscription to the text of the dictionary online as well as other resources.
Even the best writers usually need a little help with spelling. Here's my simple rule: when in doubt, look it up.
