Do you cringe every time you have to compose an office memo or draft a proposal? Does responding to customers or clients via e-mail make you nervous? If you're not the world's best speller, it's easy to make a mistake that could embarrass both you and your company. Though spell-check may correct some errors, it won't catch everything. What if you don't have time to flip through a dictionary for a word you're not sure how to spell? That's where the Spell it Write Right Dictionary (Berlitz Publishing, 2006) comes in handy. Compiled by Christine Maxwell, a former English teacher and the creator of the first online dictionary, this portable paperback allows you to find the correct spelling of a word by looking it up the way you think it is spelled. If your hunch is wrong, you'll find the misspelled word with a short descriptor in red next to its proper spelling in black.
