Who needs spellcheck?

I cdnuolt blveiee taht I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd waht I'm wdgtieg. The phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid, aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in what oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is that the frist and lsat ltteer be in the rghit pclae. The rset can be a taotl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit a porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe. Amzanig huh? Yaeh, and I awlyas toughht slpeling was ipmorantt!

Besides, we have products that look like they should read UMM! TOE JELLY, Kuiet, Oral Thrills, Teal, Aireal, Say Wha, etc. Actually, it may be more audiophoolish to ban Spellcheck.

What other products come to mind?

Dunno' about Spellcheck, but I could use Babblefish to translate some of this
crap you guys are writing. Maybe their translator needs another section:
English to Webspeak.

PS Hey Newbee, my Grampa checked out your Gramma and said she was
pretty hot, but no spring chicken. Look who's talking!

I have a spelling checker,
it came with my PC.

It plane lea marks four my revue,
miss steaks I ken knot sea.

I've run this poem threw it,
an Yule bee pleased two no.

It's let her perfect inn its weigh,
my checker tolled me sew.

What "lugnut" forgot to mention is that the "spelling gimmick" only works if the first and last letter of each misspelled word are the same as in the real word. Did I mispell misspelled?

No Papertrail, but apparantly you didn't read Lugnut's post thoroughly, heheh. And I quote...

"it deosn't mttaer in what oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is that the frist and lsat ltteer be in the rghit pclae."

Do they have spellcheck for Pig Latin?
