For you believers in whatever passes for a “spelling checker” in whatever piece(s) of software you use… here’s a poem I used to give to the students in my Computer Science classes. I always wondered how many of them got the point… and how many actually made use of that knowledge… anyway, here it is:
These Is Awl Spilled Write, Eye No,
Fore Mi Spilling Chicken Tolled Mi Sew
There are two problems with these spall chicory programs - one shows up when you type something and spell it incorrectly and the program offers an alternative which has zero relevance to the word you were grasping for… and you accept it. I’d give you an exemplary butt eye ham knot skewer ewe cud sea. Another problem is when you type something and write a perfectly good word, and it’s not what you meant, but it’s in the dictionary the spilling chicken ewes an sew every thong is hokey.








It's Leo. Go back to the top and read the page titled "WhoDat?"... Maybe I can do an excerpt here someday. Maybe soon. Probably some time after I find out how to excerpt anything... I'm pretty sure it isn't too hard.
What is needed here is something like the stuff right above it which checks for existence of something
and if it exists shows it, otherwise puts in general blather.
