I don't know half of you half as well as I should like;
and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.

Spell Check

I thought I'd send a shout out to all those grammar nazi's out there and to all those pitiful spellers who rely solely on your computer's spell checker to determine if you've misspelled anything. Bear with me if you've seen this before, but it got a chuckle out of me, especially since I'm so bad at spelling (at least according to losergirl).

Eye halve a spelling chequer
It came with my pea sea
It plainly marques four my revue
Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.
Eye strike a key and type a word
And weight four it two say
Weather eye am wrong oar write
It shows me strait a weigh.
As soon as a mist ache is maid
It nose bee fore two long
And eye can put the error rite
Its rare lea ever wrong.
Eye have run this poem threw it
I am shore your pleased two no
Its letter perfect awl the weigh
My chequer tolled me sew.

So be ye careful with your spelling and grammar checkers. (for the record, the beta version of Word 2007 did recognize several of the errors in this poem, and Word 2003 didn't like chequer - other than that it did pass the spell check test)

and i doubt that the black speech banner at the top of the page would pass spell checker. at least for 00.o (OpenOffice.org, a free, open source, near identical option for your word processing/spreadsheeting/presenting needs.)
