This week's theme: words that appear to be mis-spellings of everyday words. Is this a joke; that is, the misspelling?

Alan

Dear AlanG: To be fair, Wordsmith and his helpers have been trying to invent Weekly Themes long enough that they have run out of clever ideas. To be honest, I doubt I could do better.

Miss Pelling,
in her apparent failing,
turned to a friend,
Dick Chenery.

Chenery's yelling
was very telling
"You are the end-
user," cried he,

“But how can I help?!
you have input a spelling
uncompelling
for my searchword dictionarie!"
