Strictly speaking this is "off topic", but I thought Ticker might like it:

Spelling chequer.
============

Eye halve a spelling chequer
It came with my pea sea
It plainly marques four my revue
Miss steaks eye kin not sea.

Eye strike a quay and type a word
And weight for it too say
Weather eye am write oar wrong
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 error rite
Its rarely ever wrong.

Eye have run this poem threw it
I'm shore your pleased two no
Its letter perfect in it's weigh
My spell chequer tolled me sew. 

p.s.
it's not original, as usual "I found it on the Internet".
Who said "I admire my ancestors because ..... no internet" ??
