You have been here for a few weeks and have 2 posts and you are already tired of spelling errors?  Even with spell check some posts are full of them so you should learn to accept it or you will drive yourself nuts. ;D

Sure I have been on this forum for two weeks but been on planet earth a few more than two. :P

That is why it was a rant in an open forum. Sometimes I, and many others, just need to vent.

**I do hope I spelled everything right and produced a grammatically correct post**  :D ;D :o

It's spelled "tachometer", so the abbreviation is "tach" not "tack".

An Owed Two The Spel Chequer

I have a spelling chequer.
It came with my PC.
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 aye rime.

Each frays come posed up on my screen
Eye trussed to bee a joule
The checker poured o'er every word
To cheque sum spelling rule.

Be fore a veiling checkers
Hour spelling mite decline,
And if were lacks or have it laps,
We wood be maid to wine.

Butt now bee cause my spelling
Is checked with such grate flare,
Their are know faults with in my cite
Of none 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 words 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 flaws are knot aloud.

Sew ewe can sea why aye dew prays
Such soft ware for pea seas,
And why I brake in two averse
By righting verse to pleas.

I worked at a transmission shop a few years back and the owners son was totally anal about everything.He thought he was so damn perfect and everyone that came into contact with him could tell thats the way he was.One day I went to work and he had put a hand written sign in the office that said "We don't except checks". I never said anything but always pointed it out to others so we had a good laugh behind his dumb a$$ back!!!!

'Spell Check" keeps wanting to turn 'carbs into 'crabs'

There is another forum where all posters use crab instead of carb, drives me crazy. And text type kills me! Can I buy a vowel?
