An Ode To The Spell Checker
Run this through your spell checker. It’s a clever poem written by Jerrold H. Zar. It’s been floating around the web for years and years. But, this points out the importance of actually reading your copy instead of merely spell checking the text.
Ode to the Spell Checker
Eye halve a spelling chequerย
It came with my pea seaย
It plainly marques four my revueย
Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.
Eye strike a key and type a wordย
And weight four it two sayย
Weather eye am wrong oar writeย
It shows me strait a weigh.
As soon as a mist ache is maidย
It nose bee fore two longย
And eye can put the error riteย
Its rare lea ever wrong.
Eye have run this poem threw itย
I am shore your pleased two noย
Its letter perfect awl the weighย
My chequer tolled me sew.
