leave the touch out
leave the touch out? and do what just talk?
or go post haste? oh no.. I want all the touch i can get. there are no errors, no mistakes.. just words we haven't thought of yet... dull minds might think there is only one way to spell a word... the creative mind knows there are many.. why the can be the or het or eht -- and since enigma seems to not have a much better sense of spelling than i do..

She of the word processor that botched a thousand characters said: why the can be the or het or eht ...
If you use Word with self-correct turned on, well, not it can't be. Word will unerringly fail to correct anything except the correctly. Word is The Word about words, so to speak. Well as far as Bill Gates and Micro$loth are concerned ... that's why I've turned the grammar checker, the speller checker and auto-correct off, and then use PageMaker just to be sure I'm not being Worded!

Talk of spell checkers reminded me of this poem...
Owed to Spell Checker
I have a spelling checker
It came with my PC
It plane lee marks four my revue
Miss steaks aye can knot sea.
Eye ran this poem threw it,
Your sure reel glad two no.
Its vary polished in it's weigh
My checker tolled me sew.
A checker is a bless sing,
It freeze yew lodes of thyme.
It helps me right awl stiles two reed,
And aides me when aye rime.
Each frays come posed up on my screen
Eye trussed too bee a joule
The checker pours o'er every word
To cheque sum spelling rule.
Be fore a veiling checkers
Hour spelling mite decline,
And if were lacks or have a laps,
We wood be maid to wine.
Butt now bee cause my spelling
Is checked with such grate flare,
Their are know faults with in my cite,
Or non eye am a wear.
Now spelling does knot phase me,
It does knot bring a tier.
My pay purrs awl due glad den
With wrapped words fare as hear.
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.
Sow ewe can sea why aye dew prays
Such soft ware four pea seas.
And why I brake in two averse
By righting want too pleas.

Try running it through your Word grammar checker. You'll be amazed at the paucity of corrections it will generate.
Note: this post is not meant to imply that everyone will have a Word grammar checker. There are still some right minded people in this world.

Brilliant! I've seen attempts at this kind of thing before. You actually have to say it out loud to understand it.

I first saw it at the Exploratorium in San Francisco about the time that KFAT was given the KWSS of Death. I found it on the WEB somewhere a few years ago. The phrase Ladle Rat Rotten Hut had stuck in my brain. I even incorporated it into my version of Little Red Riding Hood by Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs.
Hey there ladle rat rotten hut,
You sure are quite the...
