i always get
stuck mixed. As my typing gets quicker I find I can't be bothered to spell properly. Probably texing doesn't help. I tend to tex as others do with l8 for late etc. Stupid thing is I'm pretty good at spelling especially at helloween.

Didn't realise you were a fellow head-banger - Helloween is a really good Rock Band (;-). See - you can spell even though you think you can't.

Love this poem
You've probably all seen it before but here it is again (undoubtedly with the formatting all over the place by the time it hist the AWeb site!):
OWED TO My COMPUTER
Ivor souper spelling chequer
It came with my Pea See
It plane lee marks for my revue
Miss steaks eye cannot sea
Each thyme when aye have struck the quays
I weight for it to say
If watt eye rote is wrong or rite
It shows me strait a weigh
As soon as a mist ache is maid
It nose be four two late
And eye can put the err or write
As this rime demon straights
I've run this poem threw it
I'm shore your policed two no
It's letter perfect in its weigh
My cheque tolled me sew
That's brilliant Cathy :)
I've never seen that poem before but it is quite apt, as well as entertaining :)
Love it!
Like the poem.
I too get the 'c' and 'o' in accountant round the wrong way. Tempted to see if AWebs profanity filer picks it up.
Following on from the poem, it reminds me of something illustrating the awkwardness of English spelling and pronunciation of 'ough.' You know, plough is pronounced plow but rough is pronounced ruff. Anyone trying to learn English could easily therefore make sentence 1 into sentence 2
1. The rough boy's cough made a bough fall and hit a cow.
2. The row boy's cue made a buff fall and hit a cough.
When I am handwriting, I often write 'strenght,' instead of strength. I have no idea why; it's the only word I do it with.
I gave up learning to spell
When I realised GHOTI
(according to the rules)
should be pronounced FISH
Loads and loads
Partly, it is because I type too quickly and get the letters the worng way round ... and sometimes I miss letters out altogther, and sometimes I am just crap at spelling.
My spelling isn't too bad ... it is grammar where I fall down!
