Ode to A Spell Cheque

eye halve a spelling chequer

it came with my pea sea

it plainly marques four my revue

miss steaks eye kin knot sea

eye strike a key and type a word

and weight four it two say

weather eye am wrong oar write

it shows me strait a weigh.

as soon as a mist ache is maid

it nose bee fore two long

and eye can put the error rite

its rare lea ever wrong.

eye have run this poem threw it

i am shore your pleased two no

its letter perfect awl the weigh

my chequer tolled me sew.

    I had to read that aloud just to get the meaning... it made my brain hurt.

    Spell check provides great fun at times. I like the "Add to Dictionary" feature the best, because if you look through the synonyms list on someone else's word program, you'll find odd things. My dictionary additions are (aside from my name and professors' names) all Sanskrit and Drow. Don't ask.

    What I really hate is grammar check. The damned green zigzags below sentences I know to be correct really angers me.

    Please e-mail me any OTHER poems you have - I can't remember when I was so taken with something.

    I would LOVE to send this to a presenter on my local radio station; he will love it too (and probably read it out on air) - do you have any objections?

    Email me if you do...

    ...must remember to give you a star before I email all my friends to have a look at this.

    Given your star - and realised he probably WON'T read it out - because there's nothing wrong to the ear... yore spell chequer toll ewe sew!

    wow that's great! and so true too! I always used to use spellcheck but they'd tell me I'd spelled things wrong when they were right, and didn't tell me when I'd spelled other things wrong.

    'tis a tool of the devil, I says!
