The Joys of Spell Check

- Elicar - Sunday, March 19th, 2006 : goo

Modern technology has maid our lives a lot easier, especially inn the area off communication. We have far moor gadgets than wee knead too communicate with its other, that face-to-face communication maybe a thing off the past inn the near future.

Written correspondence, four example, has evolved sew much in this century, especially inn the last decade. An infatuated mail used too right love letters, (God forbid, copied loved letters from a book or asked someone too right for him), sill these with kisses and male them too hiss fare maiden. The fare maiden used to eagerly await the postman too deliver her long awaited male. She would rid and re-rid this letter dozens of time before choosing the best stationary too right her most carefully crafted response buy long hand. She would den spray the stationary with her sent, and then rid it all over again before ceiling end posting it. Ah! Those were the dais.

This dais, the postman is know longer eagerly awaited four. Inn fact, he is knot welcome anymore ass he now only delivers bills. (At least four those who still have there paper bills delivered!) The modern woman wood receive her love letter through the telephone, Blackberry and computer screens. She wood receive her holiday cards and even flowers the same way. Worse, the letters are replaced buy forwarded jokes. Four a hopeless romantic like mi, I still prefer too receive letters the auld fashioned way.

Chivalry dyed first. Is romance necks?

Elicar: Writing that gave me a head ache.

Cameo: How droll

this was the most ingenious writing of misspeld words i have ever seen. i do hope you did this on purpose. how long did it take you to do that?

Elicar: 20th Mar 2006 - 04:30 GMT

Hey Jack...All of the words used were spelled correctly...I used homophones to drive a point. Spell check is a great tool, but when one does not know the real spelling of the word being used, spell check is useless.

I remember a comment that I could not figure out what it was. I believe it was Jeeff who put it in context. The commentor, instead of using his usual form of "you" which is "yous", spelled it as "use."

It didn't take long. I wrote it the normal way, then, edited it to use same sounding words spelled differently. I still missed some.

elicar: this cracked me up! well done. i do- and will always- have a warm spot in my heart for obtuse postmodern writing ;)

Elicar: 20th Mar 2006 - 22:49 GMT

Thanks Peter! I usually express my peeves in a way, as Cameo had put it.

BKD: Suggest 'farce-to-farce' would be even better!
