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.

Seagulls

There is no such thing as a seagull. There are three permanently residing gulls in the UK, the black-backed gull, the herring gull and the common gull and none of them are seagulls. They're gulls.
