Spell check don't fix stupid.

A spell-check story from long, long ago:

The spell-checker in WordPerfect 5.x (I believe), when it came across the word "Unisys" in a document, would suggest "anuses" as a replacement for the offending, unrecognized word.

Apparently somebody at WordPerfect Corp. didn't think too highly of that particular company and expressed their opinion in code.

That, and this post, are two reasons why I don't rely (or trust) spell-checkers. Read for content, boys and girls. And thanks, I needed the laugh.

Pinging my favorite attorneys!

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 key and type a word
And weight four it two say
Weather eye am wrong oar write
It shows me strait a weigh.

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

I knew an atty who customized his spell check to accept 'lien' instead of 'lean' in documents.

Then didn't bother to watch what was going on and have a fence described as liening against a tree.
