Discussion: dictionary. Do you have a preferred dictionary for when you're stuck on a word? Is it a paper one? Is it an online one?
I use the ACE Spelling Dictionary by David Moseley which is primarily for people with Dyslexia and I nearly always find the word I want by counting the syllables then going to the page it's on. I also use a combined Oxford Dictionary and Theasuras when I want to know the meaning of something that isn't in the ACE. I'll use an online dictionary like dictionary.com when I have to because I only go there in those rare times when I can actually spell the word I want to use so that I can check that it is the right one.
