Used dictionaries are in any local thrift store, Goodwill, and Salvation Army stores. Buy one. Learn how to use one. Same with folding paper maps. Neither require batteries.
For a dyslexic it is so frustrating and can make one feel like a fool: On something they had no control over (the abilities and disabilities we are born with). I have gotten better but I still get stumped and yes spell check has been a blessing.
But we don’t need to learn to spell anymore because Spellchecker does it for us. It will even correct our corrections. Of course, Spellchecker has a low sense of humor. . . sending rude emails to the boss seems to be its idea of fun. So we do have to triple-check. But, soon we will only be communicating with emojis and phonetic abbreviations anyway. Who needs actual words to communicate? The other person is sure to catch our drift. /s

And resourceful! All he needs to do is get out the dictionary. With “pat-” he’s got enough to look up the rest. Use the online or on-phone dictionary.

“Be MORE!” I think that’s a fine resolution.

If you understand the communication even through misspellings and poor grammar, then the task is accomplished.
Nit-pickers should go back to their original tasks.

I used a thesaurus for spelling with a word index in the back, that way I would not get distracted by the definitions, etc
