This was only an email, imagine the bowel-related disasters that would occur being with the sender in person :shock:

When I was at Uni, the owner of the student house I was living in advertised a room to rent. He couldn't spell so relied on his spelling checker. Thus the room was advertised as being '3 minuets from college, with a bugler alarm and a 3 piece suit'. Oh how we laughed.

"Owed to a spell chequer":


Eye halve a spelling chequer
It came with my pea sea
It plainly marques four my revue
Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.

Eye strike a quay 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
It's rare lea ever wrong.

Eye have run this poem threw it
I am shore your pleased two no
It's letter perfect awl the weigh
My chequer tolled me sew.

nope, marque means a brand, mostly used in car manufacturing, i can't see why marques would be an unacceptable pluralisation:cool:

Someone in my office once sent an internal mail out naming a Mr. P. Vullo in it...then clicked "change" to all the suggestions of spelling that Outlook came back with...didn't really check it too well on the way as it decided to rename him Mr. P. Vulva...wasn't received so well.

(weren't me!)

Now, I can read that just as easilly and as fast as if all the words were spelled as expected. Maybe it's my dyslexia, or maybe it's similar to the way people can read sentences if only the top half of each letter is visible. Good fun too!

interesting, more investigation is needed


while you're at it, try diesel - it should have a capital D because it's named after someone...
