Probably the worst aspect of learning English is its irregular spelling and pronunciation. Languages like Spanish and German are much more phonetic. However, technology has now come to our aid with the Spellcheck, making poor spelling a thing of the past


Owed tomb icon pewter

Eye halve a spelling chequer
It came with my pea sea
It plane lea marques four my revue
Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.
Eye strike a quay and tie pawward
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 err or 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.

It reminds me of some of Robert Burn's poetry, although I can understand yours better. I like it!

Oh, that's funny, I gave Perikles a slightly different version of it a while ago.

LOVE it!!!

I've a doubt about the poem.

That's English.
I can recognize the proper English there.

[JPablo]

It is basically a "parody" of the "spell checker" programs... the poem uses words that the "spell checker" does not recognize as "typos" (as they are real words) but sound correctly,

For example,
Eye halve a spelling chequer
It came with my pea sea

correctly written would be,
"I have a spelling checker
It came with my pc"

You can figure out the rest if you try to read aloud the whole poem!
(And you can see the other similar version, called "Ode to the Spell Checker", in the thread I noted above...)

As I said there, "the sauce of it is Ann On or Ann Oun"...

Yes, a spell checker can not replace a proof reader. Just ask our local paper and the man named Butch that they called something else.

[CrOtALiTo]

Where are you living?

It's a brand news, where you got the news daily, it's called Butch.

[Rusty]

@Crotalito: You misread what was written. A man named Butch was in the newspaper, but his name was misspelled. A spellchecker would not catch the misspelling because the name they called him also happens to be an English word.
Chris's location is listed to the right in his posts, just like yours.

Rusty.

I got it..
Thank you for the clearing about my doubt.

[Chris]

Plus you're on my facebook which has the city I live in heh. Anyway if you change the vowel in Butch to the letter i it becomes a vulgar word which isn't said in polite company much less a newspaper. You probably knew that, I know the first thing I did while learning Spanish was to look up all the dirty words heh.

Chris.

I have seen quickly your profile from Facebook and I could see your origin place.

Thank you for the information.
