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

Someone should do an iPhone auto-correct version of this now.
That would be funny.....
We need a Scottish spell check too, regional would be even better!
Oh now that is funny! Thanks for giving me a smile to start my Sunday off, Alistair!
I'm going to have to share this….
Made me laugh out loud when I found it too!
Oh goodness, we used to use that poem when I worked in Perth High to help the kids understand the strengths and weaknesses of spell checking. I'd mostly forgotten about it, so thanks (I think) for the flashback.
How's the new job going BTW?
Happy to remind you of happy {?} days....
Not started the job yet as I've been waiting on the police doing background checks to allow me to work with vulnerable groups. I've already been vetted for adults and children but each time you get a new appointment they update it which can take 6 weeks. The new employers are also waiting for my references to be returned { from the outsourced personnel function in India!!!} by my ex-employers. Should start an induction soon after that's all tied up.
Haha! Brilliant. I'm four ever telling my kids knot to rely on spell cheque, butt the temptation is just two much! I'm going to print this out as a grate example for them!
Fabby comment Jane - I laughed my head off!
Cheers!
Too funny--that's just how my husband and daughter do spelling. My spelling is better--but my poor typing undoes the advantage.
There's nothing worse than dysexic fingers is there MM. THat woud be a shared trait between us!
Oops - see what I mean???
Well, that raised a smile on a grim (work) Monday morning!
Only too happy to help a working man.
{Huh - you think it's grim down there? It's grim up North!}
Wait a minute - you work for the Govt. That means I pay your wages!
Get off the t'internet and get some work done you blighter!!!

Hi Yonks,
Glad you liked it. I thought since you were in the area........
Hahahahahaha! That's brilliant! It reminds me of the work of Shel Silverstein, a well loved, American children's poet.
Yes, I thought it was great when I saw it too Rebecca. I don't know the work of Silverstein so maybe I should have a look.
Fabulous poem.
I use a spell checker too! Now im worried that everything is spelt wrong!

Wrong is just perspective. Not that important really - communication is the thing.
Glad you liked it.
Drop by again sometime.
I giggled. I am a bit slow this week as I just started a new job too. I will be working with Developmentaly Disabled individuals. I have had to sit through several classes before I could start. Tuesday will be my first real day on the unit.
Eye will bee fine as long as they do knot ask me to spell anything.
Cheers,
