    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.

    No they're not -

    Loose = loose [ looss ]


    Lose = lose [ looz ] (past and past participle lost [ lawst, lost ], present participle los·ing, 3rd person present singular los·es)

    My fix:

    The dog is lo??? ... Becomes "The dog is running at large."

    My screws are lo??? ... Becomes "My screws are not tight."

    I need to lo??? some weight ... Becomes "I need to shed some pounds."

    More than one way around the block!

    Loose = Hard S. Prounounced like "Luce"

    Lose = Soft S or Z-like sound - Looz.

    Sorry I started this, but it's one spelling error that just makes me cuckoo!

    Thank you for making this. Not because I'm bothered by it. Just because I was writing a post and thought about this thread. That saved me from a mistake! lol

    Yeah, bad grammer bugs me too. Like when people can't get their "there" or "their" and "where" "wear" and "were" ugg... Lol.

    Our teacher brought up in class the other day that someone spelt "high school" like this: hi skool On a paper, for class to be handed in and it's HALF our grade! My goodness...you'd think they could spell it by now...

    grammer is spelled Grammar . No word is actually spelt they are all spelled out.
    Wear where and ware are often misused, but were is an entirely different word!

    LOL just to point out , No one is perfect, but the general gist of the thread I agree with.

    Digging up this thread because I've seen something a lot lately: "Prolly". What is that? I'm assuming its supposed to be "probably" but spelled wrong? Or is it spelled cute, like I say "the bestest meowmie in the world" I know bestest isn't a real word, but its cute.

    Soooo... is probably another murdered word where they spell it like they say it (though I actually DO say probably)

    I've seen that one too. I think a lot of these "shortcuts" are coming from text messaging - like the lack of apostrophes in contractions and possessives. I can understand using the shortcuts when you're text messaging (although I don't use them when texting and think it's just plain lazy), but when writing to a message board for everyone on the Internet to see, spelling the complete words out correctly is just good manners IMHO.
