I have a dog-eared Oxford Dictionary and Thesaurus which lives next to me to check spellings and words when I am writing. My mantra to myself is “if you write get it right”. I’d also advise people to use spellcheck before publishing a post just in case, however some words get through a spellcheck because they are an actual word but may not be the one you meant.

When I was in school, many moons ago, we were taught ways to remember the spellings of words that were spelt similarly but had different meanings. I’ve listed a few below plus some of my own inventions to remember a spelling.

Good tips Sian and I would be lost without my Oxford Dictionary. Even with it and spellcheck some mistakes still go through although I have a couple of great writers who DM me on Twitter with a "Typo Alert".
