Where spell check is concerned, you gotta remember -- use it but do not trust it. Mistakes in writing can happen to anybody. And it really is OK. Communication is what it's really about. (I think I just ended that sentence with a preposition. And I don't care.)

Here's a little rhyme that makes the spell check point in a fun way. (And when in the heck did 'fun' become an adjective? It sure wasn't when I was in high school.) Anyway, this little rhyme has been floating around for a while. I did not write it.

Eye halve a spelling chequer,
It came with my pea sea,
It plainly marques for my revue,
Mist steaks eye kin knot sea.

Eye strike a key and type a word,
And wait four it two say,
Weather I am wrong oar write,
It shows me strait a weigh.

As soon as a mist ache is maid,
It nose bee fore to long,
And eye can put the error rite,
Its rarely ever wrong.

Eye have run this poem threw it,
I am sure your pleased to no.
Its letter perfect awl the weigh,
My chequer tolled me sew.

P.S. -- I just looked up 'fun' on dictionary.com and saw that it actually had come into usage as an adjective by the time I was in high school. Who knew? Oh well, Mark Twain supposedly said, "If the world is coming to an end, go to Cincinnati. Everything there happens 15 years later." -- or he might have said "20 years" or he might not have really said such a thing, at all. Oh well. I digress.
