Does your spell-checker give you a headache? If so, here is why:
Eye halve a spelling chequer
It came with my pea sea
It plane lee 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 four two long,
And eye kin put the error rite,
Its rare lea ever wrong.
Eye halve run this poem threw it,
Eye am shore your pleased two no,
Its letter perfect all the weigh,
My chequer tolled me sew.
