Just so show that spell checkers aren't ALWAYS right

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 chose me strait a weigh.

As soon as a mist ache is maid
It nose bee fore two long
And eye kin 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.

Your spell checker is fine.

Your grammar/syntax checker needs a good look at though.

As a fellow pedant, you should know that it's postitively frowned upon to finish a sentence with an adverb.

I once handed a report in that had the words '@ss' and 'Git' in it for the reason mentioned above.

a spell checker can only check the spelling
how is it meant to know exactly what word you meant?

Yes, spell checkers can't easily distinguish homophones.

It was meant as an amusing post rather than a 'discuss the merits and downfalls of spell checkers'...lol.
