I suppose that makes me a grammar nazi, but really, there is no excuse for being incapable of spelling the words of your native language correctly.

Ode To Spell Check

I have a spelling chequer.
It came with my PC.

It planely marks four my revue,
Miss takes eye cannot sea.

I've run this poem threw it,
And I'm shore yore glad two no.

It's wonder full in every whey.
My checquer tolled mi sew.

(I wish I could take credit for this delightful bbit, but alas, I saw it somewhere years ago.
