Title: "Eye halve a spelling chequer..."
Post by: Sandwich on September 10, 2003, 09:50:58 am: Gotta love english. :)

[q]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 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 chequer tolled me sew.

Do I post Cancer's English homework?
I think he won't be so angry for it, because he is still trying to experience modelling .... given up it five times and recollected power to restart six times. :). He told he would return once he made his first usable work.

I refuse to help him until this thread sinks to the second page. :D
