Correct my mispelling of notarized on topic below.

Should have used spell check first.

Relax because we don’t worry about spelling around here.

Besides, if you ran the spell check, you may have noticed that mispelling was misspelled.

What, so now the perpetrators are surrendering? Even before any of the Spelling Sheriffs attempt to arrest them?

Spell check can be dangerous if relied on too much. One of the things my son had to do to get into his High School Academy was to write an essay explaining why he wanted to go there.

He meant to write "I want to enGage my teachers" 

Instead, he wrote "I want to enRage my teachers"

Of course, both are spelled correctly and grammar check would've passed them also.

My younger son had 'People Magazine' for a science paper citation. He meant to write "Popular Science" but was quite off the mark and didn't check how spell check corrected it.

I don't read all their school work, but maybe I should.....

Spell Checker

I halve a spelling checker,
It came with my pea see.
It plainly marks four my revue
Mistakes I dew 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 aweigh.

As soon as a mist ache is maid
It nose bee fore two long
And eye can put the era rite
Its rarely ever wrong.

I've scent this massage threw it,
And I'm shore your pleased too no
Its letter prefect in every weigh;
My checker tolled me sew.

Jeff S,

Thanks!
