SPELL CHECQUER
« on: June 10, 2010, 11:55:41 AM »
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.
Do not anticipate trouble, or worry about what may never happen. Keep in the sunlight. (Benjamin Franklin)

A clever poem. I saved it for posterity. Thank you for sharing it with us, Ami.

"checquer" is a valid British spelling, but the spellchecker in this forum does not like it.

I had no idea programs on this forum had the ability to like or dislike or even have feelings one way or the other. But people on this forum that dislike you or even like you can and do have feelings.

By saying that the spellchecker in this forum did not "like" the spelling 'checquer', I was anthropomorphizing it.Since you seem incapable of understanding the concept of personification of nonhuman entities, I will rephrase it.

The spellchecker in this forum indicates that it does not find the spelling of the word "checquer" to be acceptable, by placing a squiggly red line beneath it. It does accept the spelling "checker", as it does not place a squiggly red line beneath the word when spelled in the latter fashion.

I trust that this meets with the abilities of your intellect.

My cat seems to find this simplification adequate.

So you would rather be thought of as a defective computer than a doofus neighbor who does occasionally ridiculous deeds?

It doesn't matter to me one way or the other. You have your opinions and I wouldn't want to change them. I know deep down inside that you really like me though.
