Spellbound
I have a spelling checker
It came with my PC;
It plainly marks four my revue
Mistakes I cannot sea.
I've run this poem threw it
I'm sure your pleased too no.
It's letter perfect in it's weigh.
My checker tolled me sew.
---Pennye Harper
o As for spelling checkers, I say use 'em but don't trust 'em. IMHO,
your eyes and brain should be the best spelling checkers - certainly
in something as short as an e-memo.
Cheers, eh?
