A dictionary is to explain to you what those words mean.

 

I bet, if you gave it some thought, you could think of loads of words that you can spell without knowing their precise meaning.

See I'd suggest that's what a thesaurus is for, I always got told to look it up in the dictionary if I couldn't spell it.

I disagree.

 

A Thesaurus is for synonyms.
