ODE TO SPELL CHECKERS

I have a spelling checker
I disk covered four my PC.
It plane lee marks four my revue
Miss steaks aye can knot see.

Eye ran this poem threw it.
Your sure real glad two no.
Its very polished in its weigh,
My checker tolled me sew.

A checker is a blessing.
It freeze yew lodes of thyme.
It helps me right awl stiles two reed,
And aides me when aye rime.

Each frays comes posed up on my screen
Eye trussed too bee a joule.
The checker pours o'er every word
To cheque sum spelling rule.

Bee fore wee rote with checkers
Hour spelling was inn deck line,
Butt now when wee dew have a laps,
Wee are not maid too wine.

And now bee cause my spelling
Is checked with such grate flare,
There are know faults in awl this peace,
Of nun eye am a wear.

To rite with care is quite a feet
Of witch won should be proud,
And wee mussed dew the best wee can,
Sew flaws are knot aloud.

That's why eye brake in two averse
Cuz Eye dew want too please.
Sow glad eye yam that aye did bye
This soft wear four pea seas.

I give kudos to whoever wrote that, if YOU ever read this. I have read a similar work called "The Impotence of Proofreeding."

I'm so embarassed that many Americans whose native language is English are allways mispelling words. So wierd.

[Scheherazade]

i before e, except after c :D

[Jay]

HUH? come again please? lol

[Scheherazade]

A spelling rule in English :D
'i' comes always before 'e' except after 'c':

Like preview, believe, achieve

But conceive, receive

Thus spoketh the Teacher! :p

The Wizard Spel'ch'kur

O' seek ye out the lear'ned Spel'ch'kur
Wizard with knowledge of a thousand men
A million more I reason would concur
They profit by his presence now and then

If furrowed brow doth riddle i's and e's
If bite'd quill doth struggle with thy muse
Should errant finger fumble with the key
Bid Spel'ch'kur unlock a spell for you

Though languishe'd in the leisure land of RAM
With simple search Spel'ch'kur is found
He'll right the write, unjumble jumble'd jam
The majik of his mem'ry will astound

When pouring o'r your rhyme remember this
In wisdom doth our wizard reminisce
