Data formatting output

Sorry for being a n00b, but I'm having a lot more trouble than I should with formatting the output to the program I finally completed. I'm basically looking for the linux equivalent to setw( ) from c++ so that I can print things in columns like this (but without the underlines lol):
Code:
MISSPELLED:      CORRECTED:
whoi              who
holee             hole
ys                yes

I kept trying to get it to work with printf and %15s but it doesn't work when the words are different lengths. Does anyone know how I can properly format this?

Thank you very much!!!
