Last night, I made a post that was one huge paragraph (in the "Caring About Composition" thread) listing many attributes of a theatre that was built in a former grocery store location, and after writing it, went in and quickly "broke it up" into shorter paragraphs, which made it much easier to read.

Sometimes, even days after making a post, I'll spot a spelling or grammatical error that I never saw before. Thank goodness we can edit our posts on these forums.

This thread is just begging for the following to be posted:

The Spelling Checker Song

I have a spelling 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 weigh,
My checker tolled me sew.

A checker is a blessing.
It freeze yew lodes of thyme.
It helps me right awl stiles two reed,
And aides me when aye rime.

Each frays comes posed up on my screen
Eye trussed too bee a joule.
The checker pours o'er every word
To cheque sum spelling rule.

Bee fore a veiling checkers
Hour spelling mite decline,
And if we're laks oar have a laps,
We wood bee maid too wine.

Butt now bee cause my spelling
Is checked with such grate flare,
There are know faults with in my cite,
Of nun eye am a wear.

Now spelling 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.

Sow ewe can sea why aye dew prays
Such soft wear four pea seas,
And why eye brake in two averse
Buy righting want too please.

I just edited my post it was a mess with one continuous paragraph. Sometimes when I start ranting all proper procedures go out the window when it comes to paragraphs.

I to have to go back and edit these problems out if I think about it. Sometimes I just get in a hurry.

Just for the record I do not drink so I was in a consiuos state when making the post.

There is no need to use elaborate vocabulary, as we want everyone to understand our messages. However, the lack of good grammar and spelling, or typing, is uncalled for and as mentioned previously, can easily be corrected by simple review before sending each post.
