ABSTRACT:
A word-processing system or memory typewriter having a list of commonly-confused words together with a definition for each word in the list and associated alternative words and their definitions, all stored in the memory. An audiovisual warning signal is generated upon each entry of a commonly-confused word so that the typist can press key controls to display definitions of the entered word and its alternatives. The list is of general applicability but, where specific ones of the commonly-confused words cause no concern to a particular typist, the controls may be individually modified by that typist to suppress issuance of the warning signal when these specific words are entered thereafter. Preferably, a Dictionary List of properly-spelled words is present in the system and utilized in controlling access to the list of commonly-confused words. When the definition of an alternative word more nearly matches the one desired, the typist's pressing of the usual carrier return key on the typewriter keyboard causes the system to display and/or print the alternative in place of the misused original word (in proper alignment, of course).
