I came across this Poem by Janet E. Byford. Can you find homophones (sound the same, but are spelt differently and have different meanings?) and replace them.

Or

Just enjoy the poem.

ODE TO THE SPELLING CHECKER

Prays the Lord for the spelling chequer
That came with our pea sea!
Mecca mistake and it puts you rite
Its so easy to ewes, you sea.

I never used to no, was it e before eye?
(Four sometimes its eye before e.)
But now I've discovered the quay to success
It's as simple as won, too, free!

Sew watt if you lose a letter or two,
The whirled won't come two an end!
Can't you sea? It's as plane as the knows on yore face
S. Chequer's my very best friend

I've always had trubble with letters that double
"Is it one or to S's?" I'd wine
But now, as I've tolled you this chequer is grate
And its hi thyme you got won, like mine.

—Janet E. Byford

Hi Jackie. This was great. I love the poem. There's one thing I would add to this - Links to your other two tutorials on this opening page.

I would also add links to the other two tutorials - so people can go from one to another without searching for them.

Thanks again Jackie, a pleasure to read. Loved the poem about the chequer as well. I know spelling mistakes can occur, I read my first Blog today and noticed at least a couple. Thanks again for the effort you put in and may 2014 be a great blessing to you.

Thanks again Jackie, I'm always making smelling pistakes when I write. Your next headline, "should of, could of, would of"
