Is the word 'Integrated' that hard to spell?

When I sell an item here, or write anything for that matter, there are no typos. It's as if my browser detects typos so I can fix them. Oh wait, all browsers have spelling error detection for at least 5 years (a simple setting toggle).

There's an advert here now for an 'Integtrated.' And often others for 'intergrateds.' And speakers with good low 'base.' The latter is a grammar error, and even lazier. On an audio site, do we not know how bass is spelled? Really?

Of course, upon moving to NC last year, I discovered that 'chair' is actually two syllables.

Go ahead, flame away. Make sure to spell check first so it's legible.

As long as they can spell separate and parallel and propagate correctly I’m on board.

ODE TO A SPELL CHECKER by Jerrold H Zar

Eye halve a spelling check her, It came with my pea sea. It plane lee marks four my revue Miss steaks aye kin 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 check her 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 wee rote with checkers Hour spelling was inn deck line, Butt now when wee dew have a laps, Wee are knot maid too wine. Butt now bee cause my spelling Is checked with such grate flare, There 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 be proud; And we mussed dew the best wee can Sew flaws are knot aloud. That’s why eye brake in two averse Cuz eye dew want too please. Sow glad eye yam that aye did bye This soft wear four pea seas.

Kijanki, thanks for the best laugh of the day :-)

I put the quoted paragraph through the spelling and grammar checker of the version of Microsoft Word that is provided in Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010.  Out of the 231 words in the paragraph, most of which are wrong, the spelling checker by itself flagged all of 13 words as being incorrect, and the spelling and grammar checker together flagged all of 30 words as being incorrect.

And it scored the paragraph as being exceptionally easy to read, with a reading ease score of 100.0 and a Flesch-Kincaid grade level of 2.3!

:-)

Best regards,
-- Al
