I know it's not new, but some of you may not have seen this:

Eye have a spelling chequer,
It came with my Pea Sea.
It plane lee marks four my revue
Miss Steaks I can knot sea.
Eye strike the quays and type a word
And weight four it two say
Weather eye am write oar wrong
It tells me straight a weigh.
Eye ran this poem threw it,
Your shore real glad two no.
Its vary polished in it's weigh.
My chequer tolled me sew.
A chequer is a bless thing,
It freeze yew lodes of thyme.
It helps me right all stiles of righting,
And aides me when eye rime.
Each frays come posed up on my screen
Eye trussed too bee a joule.
The chequer pours o'er every word
Two cheque sum spelling rule.

Run it through a spell checker, it's gibberish, but there are no spelling errors!

    I think it just illustrates that the spell check is not the only check that sould be made when writing.

    There's no automatic checker for Malapropisms. Hence one of my favourite malapropisms that actually appears in a highly thought of report that is promoted in the Warrior forum.

    The writer intended to use the word "perennial" but instead typed "perineal".

    Dictionary:
    "perineum noun (perinea) anatomy the region of the body between the genital organs and the anus. perineal adj."

    It passed the spell check!
