Dictionaries

I would be the first to admit, I can not spell. A serious flaw for someone inspiring to be a great writer someday. However; T'is true. I have always turned to my children and friends for the spelling of words that refuse to form correctly in my mind. I call them my human dictionaries.
Dictionaries have always confused me,( Yes, I know to those of you who know me, confusion comes easy for me.) With that said, as I was sitting here writing another blog, I was stumped by the spelling of a word. So, I went to spell check to find assistance. To my surprise all spell check did was to inform me that I spelled the word incorrectly. ( DUH ). So, I dug out my Webster's Dictionary to hunt down the word. Now, this is the part that confuses me. In order to find the spelling of a word in the dictionary, you must first know how to or come close to knowing how to spell the word all ready. If I knew that much, i would not need the dictionary. See my dilemma? ( By the way, I had to turn to the dictionary to find out how to spell dilemma. I first thought perhaps it started with a " da", then maybe it was spelled starting with "de", it was not until much frustration that I came to the idea that just maybe it was spelled with a "di".) Many times I give up my search and just start playing the guessing game. Typing in random letters in different order in hopes that one of the combination's is the correct one. So, if you come across any misspelled words as you are reading my blogs, please overlook the error. I have come to accept this flaw in my character. My misspellings are just my unique writing technique.
