Brewster Rockit by Tim Rickard for October 11, 2022

Ridickulus.

With compoters thier is no excuce for bad speling.

Bad speelers of teh wurld untie!

How too ewes auto-correct to avoid spilling arrears and ewes corrupt grimmer.

Ah this must be the autocorrect convention.

And what’s wrong with incognito mice that are bad mountain climbers?

I’m glade wheeze have autocorrect two keep dis form happening too bus.

Ought-to-correct. Works every tim.

Brewster should feel right at home.

At least it wasn’t a “GROPE” meeting.

Owed to the Spell Checker

I have a spelling checker—

It came with my PC.

It plane lee marks four my revue

Miss steaks aye can knot sea.

Eye ran this poem threw it,

Your sure reel glad two no

It’s vary polished in it’s weigh,

My checker tolled me sew.

A checker is a bless sing,

It freeze yew lodes of thyme.

It helps me right awl stiles two reed,

And aides me when aye rime.

To rite with care is qure a feet

Of witch won should be proud.

And wee mussed dew the best wee can,

Sew flaws are knot aloud.

And now bee cause my spelling

Is checked with such grate flare,

Their are know faults with in my cite,

Of none eye am a wear.

Each frays come posed up on my screen

Eye trussed to bee a joule

The checker poured o’er every word

To cheque sum spelling rule.

that’s why aye brake in two averse

By righting wants too please.

Sow now ewe sea why aye dew prays

Such soft wear for pea seas!

I was typesetting a menu for a local restaurant, and one of the menu items was pork roast with applesauce. Auto correct changed applesauce to Appaloosa.

bad spellers lifes mattress two

Shouldn’t it say groop ?

I don’t understand? I can’t read that?

Is Brewster a bad speeler as well?

I have a more pressing issue: Why is a door drawn instead of a hatch?

Dats wear i kneed two go.

Once I cound’t even spel enginer and now I are one.

Obviously self-help is not enough, they need some outside intervention.

It’s “Spellars”!

As a bad speller all my life I found doing crosswords puzzles help me spell better, but not the miracle cure! As for computers they help for some words, but I found there are some words I struggled a lot till i found the right word!

I don’t know why I read this lame comic every day, but I do. It’s like the limerick …

“Those who write on bathroom walls/roll their shi t in little balls./And those who read the words of wit,/eat the little balls of shi t.”/

Pass the bowl of shi t balls, please.

Spell checkers help. But, as an earlier comment pointed out, they don’t necessarily catch when the wrong homophone is used. One of the first documents I wrote using a word processor, it passed the spell check. When I proofread it, I discovered I had typed “reefer” instead of “refer”. A place where I used to work had a sign about throwing trash into the “shoot”. And instructions for assembling a kiosk had instructions for attaching the “feat”.

I can only hope the “self-help group meeting” is a class in proper spelling.
