Ah, the universal “XYZ - You’re Doing It ALL Wrong” article.

unable to illicit sufficient reductions

The photo of the nekkid guy was a little TMI for me, but I wouldn't go so far as "illicit."

And I always appreciate an academic who can spell "elicit" when the need comes up. Is it too much to ask?

how come they didn’t outline what you SHOULD do??

Doing it wrong?

The Spell-Checker Poem
More than an exercise in homophonous humor, “Candidate for a Pullet Surprise” endures as a cautionary tale for all those who place too much trust in spell checkers.

Candidate for a Pullet Surprise

by Mark Eckman and Jerrold H. Zar

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.

[gloryblaze]

... I’m not doing it at all!

Ditto. I'm getting the chills just thinking about it.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Ice baths? LOL. As if  

[SamuraiScot]

What nekkid guy?.

There was a photo of a guy, seen from the top, in one of those tiny therapy bathtubs, and yes--he was nekkid, fortunately with no major details visible.

Maybe on your settings, these valuable images don't come through.

He has black trunks on....................

Professional Athletes use ice baths all the time.......................

[Governor Dinwiddie]

I'm sure professionals do use ice baths. I was speaking for myself. I mean "as if" I myself would take an ice bath. No way!

[SamuraiScot]

The pome about the Spell-Cheka was a little frightening.

Is it like a secret police unit that investigates your spelling?

[Red Badger]

It ain’t as bad as it sounds, especially if you are in pain................................

[Red Badger]

Some computers and tablets have it built in and on by default.

You have to turn it off in the settings................

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

No ice baths for this kid.

Cold packs ok and I have a cool water pump for major injuries but jumping into ice water?

No.
