Talk So...how good is your spellchecker program?

Run this through your spell checker program and see if it finds any mistakes.

Eye halve a spelling chequer
It came with my pea sea
It plainly marques 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 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 two no
Its letter perfect awl the weigh
My chequer tolled me sew.

Any one knows a good free easy spell checker?

BTW words like

quit/quiet
know/now/no
accept/except

aren't recognized by the spellchecker and I sometimes mix those

every word is spelled properly, it's just not the proper spelling for the meaning.

clever!

Sorry, it's only meant to check spelling, not grammar or usage. Someday computers will be advanced enough to know what we meant to write.

Word can catch some simple grammatical mistakes like Eye halve should be Eye halves or Eyes halve, singular or plural and some tenses but too much dealing with correct syntax usage.
