Spelling/Technology

Ode to a Spell Checker
author unknown

Using a spell checker is an important tool in technology use. On the other
hand, it is very important that students go back and reread their written work
after they have completed using a spell check. Consider the following:

OWED TWO A 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.

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.
