OP SPELLING CHECKER:
Putt knot yore faith inn spill checquers.
--Michael Nellis (see following material)
Reason why you should "Putt knot yore faith inn spill checquers":
An Owed to the Spelling Checker
I have a spelling checker.
It came with my PC.
It plain 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.
Bee fore a veiling checkers
Hour spelling mite decline,
And if we're lacks oar have a laps,
Wee wood bee maid too wine.
Butt now bee cause my spelling
Is checked with such grate flare,
Their are know faults with in my cite,
Of nun 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 bee proud,
And wee mussed dew the best wee can,
Sew flaws are knot aloud.
Sow ewe can sea why aye dew prays
Such soft wear four pea seas,
And why eye brake in two averse
Buy righting want too pleas.

Copied from Spell/Binder Sept/Oct 1992. Editors note: Jerry Tzar (oops!), a member of Spell, is dean of the Graduate School of Northern Illinois University. He composed the above as an extension of a two-verse poem by Mark Eckman, of AT&T in Morristown, NJ. Lines 1, 2 & 8 are identical in both poems. By Mr. Zar's count, 123 of the 225 words are incorrect, yet none is misspelled. [Reprinted here without permission. --MN]
