I got this in an email a few days ago. I can't believe I read it all:

Eye halve a spelling checker
It came with my pea sea
It plainly marquees 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 checker tolled me sew.

The message really shows the holes in spell checkers. It's a pretty funny poem, I have to give it that much 3nodding .

I love that poem. It really demonstrates the main problem with spell checkers. They'll catch misspelled words, but not correctly spelled words in the wrong place.

The best part is that every word is spelled correctly.

I actually thought it was rather clever. I could understand it. ^^; I know what it was getting to. Maybe it was satire of a sort?

It's supposed to be funny. It demonstrates the uselessness of a spell checker when one use correctly spelled words in incorrect places.

I think it's sort of cleverly funny, not to say that I could read it without twitching, but clever none the less.

It looks more like a joke.

It shows that spell-checkers are useful, since if you don't know a word, you can at least use the checker. However, they are only good if you know what word it is you want.

For example, a spell checker would not think "I no" was wrong. It is, after all, spelled correct. Spell&Grammar checkers are more useful.

I have a spelling checker.
It came with my pea sea.
It plane lee marks four my revue
Miss steaks aye can knot sea.

Eye ran this poem threw it,
Your sure reel glad two no.
Its vary polished in it's weigh.
My checker tolled me sew.

A checker is a bless sing,
It freeze yew lodes of thyme.
It helps me right awl stiles two reed,
And aides me when I rime.

Each frays come posed up on my screen
eye trussed too bee a joule.
The checker pours o'er every word
To cheque sum spelling rule.

Bee fore a veiling checker's Hour
spelling mite decline,
And if we're lacks oar have a laps,
We wood bee maid too wine.

Butt now bee cause my spelling
Is checked with such grate flair,
Their are no fault's with in my cite,
Of nun eye am a ware.

Now spelling does knot phase me,
It does knot bring a tier.
My pay purrs awl due glad den
With wrapped word's fare as hear.

To rite with care is quite a feet
Of witch won should be proud,
And wee mussed dew the best wee can,
Sew flaw's are knot aloud.

Sow ewe can sea why aye dew prays,
Such soft wear four pea seas,
And why eye brake in two averse
Buy righting too pleas.

That's the full version.
