    I bought this as a tool for my 5th grader to use in class. His teacher allows them to use a spell checker. He uses it during self selected reading to look up words and when he writes to find alternative words instead of using the same word over and over. He finds it easy to use and the games are fun. The cover could be a little sturdier but other than this it's a great product!!

    I have yet to have this machine SAVE the first setting. It always reverts back to what it was set to when bought. It skips the steps of setup and will not allow me to even set the time. I was given this as a "spellchecker", what do I need with World Time? This meets nothing that I wanted a machine to do. I will be having this on a garage sale and maybe even for free to get rid of it. To each their own and it may be great for others but NOT for me.

      Comments about Franklin/Franklin Electronic Franklin MWD-460A Merriam-Webster Intermediate Dictionary and Spell Corrector:

      A convenient way to check definitions without having to locate a paper dictionary. However, it does not contain as many words as I would like. The definitions are brief and there is very little in the way of derivations.

        Tried to intentionally spell several words wrong, and it came up with 'no word suggested' or something like that. Never did figure out how to fully set it up. Returned it to Staples. No thanks!
