I am in the same boat - I am 47 and spelling was never a problem - I was a spelling bee champ in my school - but I have the same problem - I think those new brain games they have for us - really help clear the cobwebs out of our brains - if we don't use it we lose it. I still like me good old fashioned dictionary - my kids wonder why I use that book - to me its an old friend - I can find anything I need to know in my dictionary- and I use google too.
