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 inn 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 aye 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 checkers
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 faults 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 words 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 flaws 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.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember airsmoothed
saying something like:

Having said that, a few months back I decided to switch the Digibox to
RGB, having used it on composite for 9 years or so. To me the
difference seems obvious on reasonable quality source material ( sky
arts 1 for example) but neither of my teenaged daughters or wife even
noticed. They're also quite happy to watch everything in
stretchyvision with all those short fat people etc.

Enable SCART switching in the digibox.

I say! Do you file your toenails?

Seriously though, it's a bizarre system that seems to work in terms of
reducing a bitmap to vector graphics for distribution, then
reconstructing the bitmap from the vectors and filling in the missing
bits

Ouch! Someone has constructed MPEG-2 inside me head!

No, I put them in the garbage container.

Yes...
I can't see well enough to cut them.

heh heh

I think it was an old Larry cartoon of the guy cutting his toenails
over the edge of the bath, and the clippings were ricocheting off the
wall, the ceiling and another wall and dropping neatly into the hand
basin

That too, it's basically what the JPEG and MPEG guys have been working
on, finding out which information can be dropped without anyone
noticing. Kinda the opposite of what the BBC and especially Channel
Five are working on

Even funnier if you run it through Word's spell checker

No mis-spellings and only 5 grammatical errors!
