Have you ever found yourself having to fill out a form which doesn’t have Spell Checking built in?  It can be a little frustrating going to Google to find the proper way to spell a word.

I recommend WordWeb which you can right click on any word and it brings up a definition of the word and also the proper spelling.  It even shows you how to say the word, pretty awesome Light Weight Software.

And best yet, it’s completly Free!
