Ah, the perils of depending on Spell Check! What a great tool…it does so much. But what it doesn’t do is catch words that are real words, spelled correctly, but used inappropriately. Check out the poem below to see what I mean. Read it aloud to yourself and you’ll see what I mean!
SPELL CHECKER BLUE IT!
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 PLEASE TO NO,
ITS LETTER PERFECT IN IT'S WEIGH.
MY CHECKER TOLLED ME SEW.
