    I have an old fashioned attitude towards the spelling...


    [​IMG] [/quote] [/QB][/quote]

    I also have an old attitude to correct spelling.(or near as dam it it my case)(sorry i do my best to spell as best as i can, but when your 6'3 tall and have hands like shovels, one catches the odd key now and then . proff reading every post gets boaring.

    there is an old saying that the pen is mightier than the sword.
    personaly i think that saying is wrong.
    the spade is mighter than the sword.

    If proof reading gets boring you can always use your spell checker.

    You can use it on this:-

    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.

    ..and it even works in French (well almost)


    Eye r�©duire de moiti�© l'orthographe d'un mot Chequer
    Il est venu avec mes pois de mer
    Il manifestement Trademarks quatre ma revue
    Miss steaks oeil nÃ?â??ud parent mer.

    Eye gr�¨ve un quai et de taper un mot
    Et le poids de deux quatre-dire
    MÃ?©tÃ?©o Ã?â??il me trompe rame Ã?©crire
    Elle m'a choisi un d�©troit peser.

    D�¨s que la brume est ache maid
    Il abeille nez avant deux longues
    Et les yeux kin mettre l'erreur rite
    Ses rares lea jamais tort.

    Eye ont g�©r�© ce po�¨me il jeta
    Je suis heureux de votre rivage deux pas
    Sa lettre parfaite awl la pes�©e
    Mon chequer p�©age me coudre.


    But try and translate back into English and Google translator can't make head nor tale of it.
    Just to amuse myself I somtimes take peoples posts and use Google to translate them into a foreign language, then translate back into English. Some of the results can be quite funny.
    Anyone fancy having a go and posting the result?

    Babel Fish makes perfect sense of it Terrier:

    Eye to reduce half the orthography of a word Chequer It came with my peas from sea It obviously Trademarks four my review Miss steaks eye n?ud relative sea. Eye burdens a quay and to type a word And the weight of two four-statement M�©t�©o?il misleads oar to me to write It chose me a strait to weigh. As soon as the fog is aitch maid It bee nose fairing two long And the eyes kin to never put rare the rite error Its lea wrong. Eye managed this poem it threw I am happy of your shore two steps Its letter perfect awl the weighing My chequer toll to sew me.

    No problem. [​IMG]
