It freeze yew lodes of thyme

Rather than pick on anyone (cuz hey, I do this too sometimes), my inner English teacher is coming out to play:
I have a spell checker
It came with my PC
It plane lee marks four my revue
Miss steaks aye can knot see
Eye ran this poem threw it
Your sure real glad two no
Its very polished in its own weigh
My chequer tolled me sew
A cheek or is a blessing
It freeze yew lodes of thyme
It helps me right awl stiles two reed
And aides me when aye rime
Now spilling does not phase me
It does knot bring a tier
My pay purrs awl due glad den
With wrapped words fare as hear
To rite with care is quite a feet
Of witch won should be proud
And wee mussed dew the best wee can
Sew flaws are knot aloud
So ewe can sea why aye dew prays
Such soft wear four pea seas
And why eye brake in two averse
Buy righting want to please

I like it. Is this one of those things I could publish on my blog for students without having to worry about attribution?
-
i used to have it on my website for the same reason. so far as i know it's been passed around the internet since the early 90s, modified by many, many different people.

Heh. You know, one day someone is going to miss the point, throw up their hands, fix all the "errors" and post it anew.
-
I challenge you to do it! -
To miss the point? I do that all the time

Y dont u lrn sum propre englis be4 ryting this kute poem? -
some of my favourite student spell checker errors:
a swarm of angry misquotes devoured him
Asher was a pure-bread Jew (that one still makes me snicker every time)
the trails and tribulations of growing up
I used to copy these, print them out and post them above my desk ....-
OMG! Angry misquotes. I totally relate.
Oh...wait... -
lmfao

Yes, you are very bad. And you're giving me ideas.
But I can't lay claim to a desk, since I move from office to office by the semester. That's one of the things that drove me to blog. I needed some place where I could pin up my wisdom!
Am moving into copy/paste mode now with your poem. -
try a small bulletin board, pin the quotes up there ... easy enough to set up the little bulletin board in each new office.

Theft complete. Included a hat tip to your blog, Ender. Who knows, maybe a student will read something you've got to say. Worse things could happen.
Seriously, I let feeds sit for a while in my reader. Finally got around to some of yours last week and was glad I did.-
*blush* thank you.
