Spell Checker

I’ve added a spell checker to my blog; although I have it working on my posts I don’t have it completed for the comment section. I was re-reading something I spell checked earlier and realized that although it did correct some spelling it didn’t catch some homophones that were in there.

Homophones: two words that sound alike, but are spelled differently and have different meanings; like: see and sea.

This has reminded me of a poem I knew a few years back and has been printed in the Phonics and Spelling program text that we use.

Spell Checker

Eye halve a spelling checker,
It came with my pea sea.
It plainly marks four my revue
Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.

Eye strike a key and type a word
And weight four it two say
Weather eye am wrong oar write
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 rare lea ever wrong.

Eye have run this poem threw it,
I am shore your pleased two no,
Its letter perfect awl the weigh,
My checker tolled me sew.
