    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.

    Its very clever i liked that.

    this is something my uncle wrote when he was in high school:

    "Kaos" in the English language

    Many people who have trouble with spelling and pronouncing words, and other difficulties, will begin to wonder why our language isn't made simpler. It has terrible words like through and thorough, sweet and suite, and many others. So, to overcome these problems by gradual changes, we could make this language easier to spell and pronounce.

    For the first step I suggest using "s" instead of a soft "c". Sertainly, now, students in all sities and towns would rejoise at this change. Then we could replase the hard "c" with "k" bekause these sound alike anyway. Thus, without and "c" in the language, printing mashines kould be made cheaper.

    Now by the sekond step, the publik would be sentred around this new system. So now we kould make more komplikated changes by having "tsh" instead of "ch", and "ph" would be replased by "f". This would make words like fysiks and fotograf, tsheaper to print. By now we kan remove the double letters whitsh have always been a nuisanse to akurate speling. Al silent leters kan now be removed bekaus they are forgoten anyway. We koud now begin by making the finer tshanges, sutsh as replasing "y" for "i" and the "s" to "z".

    Arfta ebowt twenti yeez wi shood ave a reli sensibal riten langwige an' thar wud b no mor ov thez trublsum pronunsiatshun an' speling problums to deal wif.

    Haha that's good as! I think I remember reading that somewhere... maybe someone stole it from your uncle and published it on the internet!

    But it was a little different, I think there was more of an emphasis on the french accent at the end. Good, though!

    From someone who truly values the use of punctuation, I think both of those are brilliant.

    Wow, holy oldness. Seriously, one of my teachers had that posted on his wall when I was in high school... in 1998!
