[senco-forum] A verse for Monday

And on a more serious note......

Perhaps ACE/IPSEA can use this little ditty in their fight with the exam
bodies so that children who use spellcheckers as part of a specialist WP
package such as TextHELP and use it these daily on their PC to be
independent learners can also be allowed to use it in their exams, rather
than having to disable all the functionality.

My daughter is bright enough to know which word she needs - she just can't
spell it initially or recognise it from 5 words offered without the
spellchecker to read through the various options.  Most of her work ends up
looking like this poem!

Ode to A Spell Cheque

eye halve a spelling chequer

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.
