You would be amazed how many “obvious” typos slip past my 20 readings and the editors and proofreaders. Mind boggling.

I have a spelling checker,
It came with my PC.
It plane lee marks four my revue
Miss steaks aye can knot sea.

Eye ran this poem threw it,
Your sure reel glad two no.
Its vary polished in it’s weigh.
My checker tolled me sew.

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

Each frays come 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 checker’s
Hour spelling mite decline,
And if we’re lacks oar have a laps,
We wood bee maid too wine.

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

Now spelling does knot phase me,
It does knot bring a tier.
My pay purrs awl due glad den
With wrapped word’s fare as hear.

To rite with care is quite a feet
Of witch won should bee proud,
And wee mussed dew the best wee can,
Sew flaw’s 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 pleas.

English to be official language of European Union rather than German, which was the other possibility

(An oldie, but it might be new to some.)

The European Commission has just announced an agreement whereby English will be the official language of the European Union rather than German, which was the other possibility.

As part of the negotiations, the British Government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a 5- year phase-in plan that would become known as ‘Euro-English’..

In the first year, ‘s’ will replace the soft ‘c’.

Sertainly, this will make the sivil servants jump with joy. The hard ‘c’ will be dropped in favour of ‘k’. This should klear up konfusion, and keyboards kan have one less letter. There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year when the troublesome ‘ph’ will be replaced with ‘f’. This will make words like fotograf 20% shorter.

In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible.

Governments will enkourage the removal of double letters which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling. Also, al wil agre that the horibl mes of the silent ‘e’ in the languag is disgrasful and it should go away.

By the 4th yer people wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing ‘th’ with ‘z’ and ‘w’ with ‘v’.

During ze fifz yer, ze unesesary ‘o’ kan be dropd from vords kontaining ‘ou’ and after ziz fifz yer, ve vil hav a reil sensibl riten styl.

Zer vil be no mor trubl or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi tu understand ech oza. Ze drem of a united urop vil finali kum tru.

Und efter ze fifz yer, ve vil al be speking German like zey vunted in ze forst plas.

In Venezuela the takers far outnumber the producers. We don't quite have that here...yet.

We don't?

Coulda fooled me!

Now would be a good time to pass a law requiring ALL First Year College Students to spend 30 days in the Utopian Capitol of the World, Venezuela. Before being allowed to take a Single Class!!

Actually, High school.
Before they vote for the first time...

That could never happen here, right? I mean the EPA is effectively shutting down coal fired power plants (or throttling them down to a fraction of capacity).

I would laugh here, except I found out recently that the elected criminals in DC have their own coal fired plant to keep essential services and really important people functioning...

But Bernie Sanders assures us that this time Socialism will work!

the Bernie that was a layabout until he was 45?

The Bernie who got his first ever paying job at 45?

The Bernie whose first paying job was on the public teat?

The Bernie whose first net worth was his wife's?

The Bernie whose said wife promptly left him?

The Bernie who has never earned a cent in the competitive Free Market?

That Bernie???

My intention was to convey the idea that the Bernie fan writing on the left margin that was an illiterate moron aka liberal idiot. Apparently, not many folks understood that, so Bon Mots did a different version which I'm now posting.

Just type a keyword phrase into any search engine. It was in articles a few days ago.
