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 quay and type a word
And weight four it two say
Weather eye am rong oar rite
It shows me strait aweigh.
As soon as a mist ache is maid
It nose bee four two long
And eye can put the error rite
Its rare lea ever rong.
Eye halve run this poem threw it
I am shure your pleased two no
Its letter perfect awl the weigh
My chequer tolled me sew!

I may be being pedantic, but how about the missing apostrophe in
it's, it's miss-spelt with out it!!

He he, amazing how wrong something can be, yet still be readable!
In my position of editing QL Today, the commonest errors I find in
written English is the swapping of its and it's.
"It's" is of course the same as "it is" but everyone thinks "it's" is
possessive like any other "'s" as in "Colin's".
"Its" is the correct possessive. As my English teacher at school kept
telling me until he gave up, at which point I remembered which was
which once he'd stopped nagging!
Grrr. Who made the English language so difficult???
