Spell Checking Your Tips

LAWL!

Here's a tip for spell checkers: After you complete your spell check, go back and read your message again. While the spell checker is a wonderful tool, it cannot check to see if a particular spelling is the one that fits your sentence. For instance, "They took 'there' bags and went home." Hum, could that sentence pass the spell check? Yes. So just do a quick read ... or maybe not so quick. Thanks for the tip though.

Amen. Personally, I'm mortified by spelling errors... Sadly that seems to be a fading trend these days.

That was great!
I am a human spellchecker, I get nauseous when I see apostrophes out of place! They swarm over a page like fleas sometimes!
Remember the popular forward that said "Eye halve a spelling chequer, et laves an mai Pea Sea..."
Here's the secret to apostrophe's : they are actually a tiny arrow to point to where a letter was stolen. So **it's** is actually IT IS. The other use for one of these mini-arrows is to show possession (Linda's horse's foot's shoe is missing? say it's not so!) thanks for putting up with my mini-rant - Kim

Owed to the Spelling Checker:

Your sure reel glad two no.

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 pour o'er every word
To cheque sum spelling rule.

Be fore a veiling checkers
Hour spelling mite decline,
And if were lacks or have a laps,
We wood be maid to wine.

Butt now bee cause my spelling
Is checked with such grate flare,
Their are know faults with in my cite,
Of non 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 be proud.
And wee mussed dew the best wee can,
Sew flaws are knot aloud.

Sow ewe can sea why aye dew prays

There ya go!
Now we're talkin'!
