Owed To The Spell Checker

Those of you who read my blog, especially my comments on your site, know I can relate to this poem:

Owed to the Spell Checker

Eye halve a spelling checker.
It came with my pea sea.
It plainly marcs 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
Eye am shore your pleased two no
Its letter perfect awl the weigh
My checker tolled me sew.

  6. It really cracks me up, and I expect the new "AI" spellcheckers will be able to read my mind and I won't ever have to use the spell checker again. (I'm sorry Mr. Guinness, you have no mind only an undeveloped mass of grey matter,....sorry.)

  9. As I said at the beginning, I can so relate to this poem. Look up some of my comments on your blog and see all the ‘you’ for ‘your’ and the correct using of ‘were’ and ‘where’ to mention a few. I be educated also, too. But most of it as a product of the Atlanta City School System. That is not a really good excuse for me being too lazy to study, but works for me in explaining the gray mush between my ears.

    And I thank all of you for not pointing out my mistakes and calling me a dummy. The truth hurts, not as bad as you will if I ever get my hands on you, but it is still the truth.

  10. Intending to type "raid" and not pressing the "a" key firmly enough ends up spelling "rid." No spell-checker will flag that.

    Those kinds of mistakes get by me quite easily.

    I definitely related to the poem.
