Ooh, boy. It's really grates the nerves when someone uses a word incorrectly, either in conversation or email. And, in sales (and lots of other professions) coming across as incompetent can cost you a sale.

To help you avoid future vocab faux pas, keep Definr at the ready. Definr is a "remarkably fast dictionary" which has an autocomplete function to essentially finish your thought as you tap the keys. (Type in "ach" and you'll see the correct spelling for "achieve" down below, which is hyperlinked with its definition.)

Between two languages (French and English) and being a word nerd in general, I'm drawn to new word reference guides. Definr seems to be good for common, every day usage. It's missing some bigger words, but I'm sure those will come with time. Definr is fast, as promised—and gosh their logo is cute.

Give it a whirl and let me know what you think!
