<FONT size="4"><B>Ode to Spell Checker
</FONT s></B>Eye halve a spelling checker;
It came with my pea sea.
It plainly marks 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—
It’s 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 checker tolled me sew.

Dedicated to all spelling challenged Blunderites because (a) If that's your worst fault (or even if it's not), PLEASE don't sweat it and (b) every word above is spelled correctly--see how much that matters?

{{Hugs}} from Me

Heehee... that's terrific!

... thank goodness that we all seem to understand it's the message that counts, not the spelling!

Pam's right, but these days, I will answer to anything that starts with a C or an S and is not downright rude and abusive!<img src="http://www.arlo.net/ubb/smilies/wink.gif" width=15 height=15>

I care not for what the words say so much as what the heart reveals, and in truth there is no need for spell checking, if you spot an error that I let slide then by all means enjoy the moment of feeling surperior to one such as I, for if that should make your day then I have done my job here....

you guys are terrific and I do enjoy the visits.

Did I ever tell you I was 8th grade spelling champ of my school? (However, I don't type all that well, so it really doesn't matter) <img src="http://www.arlo.net/ubb/smilies/smile.gif" width=15 height=15>

I think my spelling has to do with poor teaching habits of my teachers, so often they would ask me " how do you spell, Indiana?" I would answer, "Indinana" and they would say I was wrong....Well I had to disagree with them, That was indeed how I chose to spell Indiana, and in fact I was correct, what they should have been asking is "how does everyone else spell the word.

SPELLING CHAMP INDEED, how do you spell a word starting with the letter F and is associated with heat and excitement?
need help? the word ends in UCK....

still don't know?

Beverley, I just passed it along, I didn't write it! Of course, share it freely. Goofus: <img src="http://www.arlo.net/ubb/smilies/smile.gif" width=15 height=15> And, same to you, Nathen!
