I may love spell checker, but sometimes I think it makes writers lazy. I know I often have to open up a blank Word document to check on a simple word that I can't remember how to spell.This poor student has spent way too much time in front of his or her computer and can no longer spell. If you type the following poem into Word, not a single word comes up misspelled and, according to Word, there are only four grammar mistakes.
Eye Halve a Spelling Checker
I halve a spelling checker
It came with my pea sea
It plainly marcs four my revue
Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.
Eye strike a key and type a word
And weight four it two say
Weather eye am wrong oar write
It shows me strait a weigh.
As soon as 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 weigh
My check tolled me sew.
Have spelling and grammar checking functions in your computer made you a lazy writer? Should we worry that dependence on grammar and spell checkers are making us less literate? Do you ever use your phone or computer to look up a word?
