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 inn 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, We 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. Jerry Zar, 29 June 1992 Jerrold H.

That is the kind of thing that is caused by a spell checker if you don't carefully proof read your note before you send it. The words "careful" and Donald Trump do not often collide in the same sentence. |

Did you notice the Times of India broke the story? Trump's not going to bring this up at the pep rallies. |

"Degeneres" defaults to Degerate in it's various forms, Not me, Agent does that. |

You can aften tell the uneducated or english as second language writer using spell check by the fact every word is a correctly spelled word, but where homonyms exist virtually all of them have the wrong one for the context (to, too, and two, for instance.) |

Sometimes I hear the laughter coming in the windows. I am especially embarrassed when I read a reply to a posting I made and can't believe the errors. -- Tekkie |

What is worse is when you send a message correcting someone's spelling or grammar, and you screw up your reply worse than the original post - - - |
