This dictionary is an important aid for all those who speak, and need to read or write British English. The dictionary was first published in 1977 under the title of the “Pergamon Dictionary of Perfect Spelling” and many people – young and old alike, have benefited tremendously from its use. This new version contains a completely updated and thoroughly modernised wordlist.

Advantages of the Dictionary of Perfect Spelling:

For Students: The “Dictionary of Perfect Spelling is a powerful aid for students who are reluctant users of dictionaries. This dictionary is so easy to use and provides results immediately, building confidence and increasing a student's desire to learn. Says Mari Powell, an Independent Ofsted Inspector: "The return of this valuable resource will empower pupils to make independent progress with their spelling."

For Employers: This “Dictionary of Perfect Spelling” is very helpful for any adult who is weak at spelling but embarrassed to admit that they need help. Now, they don’t have to worry about asking for help because they can find the word on their own. Employees can also avoid the embarrassment of choosing the wrongly spelled word from spell checkers – which are unable to tell the difference between a word spelled right but used wrongly in a certain context.

For Career-Minded Individuals: Who cannot afford a single error in their résumé or biographical information. Relying on an electronic spell checker alone is dangerous. With this dictionary to hand, résumés sent in for job applications or essays written for report or homework assignments will be free of spelling errors.

A Special Note for Dyslexic Learners and Parents and Teachers of Dyslexic Learners: This is a dictionary that Dyslexic learners feel confident to use independently. Over the years, the author received many letters from users commenting on this fact. The new Barrington Stoke edition should prove even more popular to those with learning difficulties because the dictionary pages are presented in Barrington Stoke’s unique font with extra careful attention to a clear layout - making reading the dictionary pages much easier on the eye than the majority of dictionaries on sale today.
