Word from definition?
10 Answers
I've tried looking on Google without any luck; I would like to know if there is a site where it is possible to enter a definition so as to find a word with that meaning. Failing that and I feel stupid for not being able to remember, what word means "unable to spell" (in the same way that inarticulate means "unable to speak")?

Sorry shaneystar2, didn't see your reply. Inorthography is of course correct, but I was looking for illiterate. Someone who cannot spell..."inorthographer" would seem conventional would it not, but I'm not sure.
This question arose from rather an ironic situation really - I was saying that a spell checker on MSN messenger would help to reduce _______. I couldn't for the life of me remember the word which should have followed.
Thanks for your help folks.
I think dysorthagrapia is the word we could be looking for.

Dysgraphia means unable to write and illiterate means unable to read or write. If you cannot read or write you cannot spell.So there must be a word meaning unable to spell correctly.
Where is QM ....
