Doesn't anyone use spell check before they post a message?


Sorry I couldn't resist...

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.

Spell Checking - If you won't do it for yourself, Do it for someone you love.

I cdnuolt blveiee taht I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd waht I was rdgnieg. The phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid -- aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht 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 thought slpeling was important.

I beg to differ.

The spitmilciy of the pinceredg and uccinnoosus aaeegmnnrrt are paaillrty rbeilnopsse for its igbeiiiilllntty. Sceeilnots more ccciilmoortuuus are rdeeenrd amobiuugs.

Is we mak'n wine or tak'n English? If we standardize, should it be an American or English spell checker?

LOL. I've really enjoyed reading these postings, but I'm not going to contribute...I'm making carrot wine for the first time. Laughter is the best medicine. ;o) Darlene

LOL... that's what I think too. But it works if you leave the syllables in more or less the same order when you re-spell it. I think that research was paid for by the people who market chat software to 15 year olds.

Do me a favour and let me know the flavour of your carrot wine!

I ahve a bag of carrots from a local farmer in my garage, and hope to make some soon too....Did you slice and boil? Or did you extract with a processer? Rick

Rick, This is my first try at carrot wine w/no additional herbs added. I took the recipe from Terry Garey's book on homemade wine-making. I managed to get a deal on a 1 lb bag of baby carrots @ $.69 each - bought 5 bags, shredded in my food processor and gently simmered (don't boil according to Terry)for 45 minutes. Then strained the juice out, and froze the carrots for carrot bread. These baby carrots were sweet - I used only 4 cups of sugar, plus 1 can of frozen Welch's 100% white grape juice. I just added my yeast last night, it's a very orange color, much lighter than my pumpkin wine which is only 2 weeks old. Good-luck and let me know how your batch goes. Darlene Wisconsin
