Google’s New Spell Check Is Crazy Awesome
http://lifehac.kr/GKTNxl
Google’s New Spell Check Is Crazy Awesome
The updated spell checking bakes in the power of Google's "Did you mean" technology, meaning that instead of relying on a static dictionary, it uses the context of your word alongside Google's powerful "Did you mean" database to learn new words, offer spelling suggestions based on context rather than just similarity, and that it can even catch typos when the misspelled word is just the wrong dictionary word.

How to Study Spelling Words
http://www.auburn.edu/%7Emurraba/spelling.html
How to Study Spelling Words
When poor spellers begin with the written word, they often try to memorize a spelling as if it were an arbitrary letter string.
Arbitrary strings are terribly hard to remember; think how long it takes to learn a phone number, and then imagine trying to learn 88,500 phone numbers--the estimated number of words in printed school English.
The following strategy helps the student focus on the pronunciation of a word before seeing its spelling. This helps the student understand that a spelling is a meaningful map of the pronunciation. When spellings are understood as pronunciation maps, they are much easier to remember.
