Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Modern Speller: A Text-Book Containing the 20, 000 English Words Which Are Used Most Frequently in Conversation and Correspondence, Exclusive of Words of Three or Less Letters; A Course of Lessons in English In other spelling books, the past tense and present participle of verbs are usually omitted. The same thing is true of the dictionaries one usually consults when in doubt about the spelling of a word. The omission would make little difference were it not for the fact that those are the forms which persons have most difficulty in spelling. To realize this more fully, stop a moment and recall how often you have been in doubt whether or not the final 0 should be retained before adding ing, and how frequently you have failed to remember whether or not the final consonant should be doubled before adding ed, and how often when you have consulted the dictionary the form you desired was not given. In The Modern Speller, those forms always appear and the student is thus given assistance in the place he most needs it. For that reason. The Modern Speller is better than a dictionary asa book of reference if you wish to look up the spelling of words about which you are in doubt The words are arranged alphabetically so that any word can be found when wanted.
