A wonderful example of why people should not rely on spell check programs.
Ode to My Spell Checker
Eye halve a spelling checker
It came with my pea sea.
It plainly marks four my revue miss steaks eye kin knot sea.
Eye strike a quay and type a word and weight for it to say
Weather eye yam 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 to no.
Its letter perfect awl the way.
My checker told me sew.

This poem is a bit of an exaggeration these days as most spell checkers include grammar checkers so many of these homophonic spelling errors would be caught - it is still a fun poem though.
