But they are less needed in certain languages. If you know how a Spanish word is pronounced, you can probably guess how it is written. If you are uncertain of an English word... well I'd take a dictionary over memorizations and "rules of thumbs" when it comes to the gigantic mess that is English spelling.
- CyberFonic 13y agoThat's very true. But when I need to write in a language that I'm not fluent in, it would be nice to have a competent spell checker, etc. For example, my Spanish pronunciation is rather poor, so chances are that I would also misspell words when I write them. And it is very easy to innocently write something which turns out to be rude or even vulgar.
