I've run this poem through Spell-Check
And it's perfect as can bee;
We hardly need humans now that machines
Can reed and here and see!

Wee don't come with dictionaries
Planted in our brain.
Were not that good at picky details;
We focus on the mane

Idea. We do grand design.
They overdue perfection.
They ketch us wen we're at our wurst
And make each small correction.

Thank you, Spell-Check! Thanks to you,
Nothing could be rarer
Than typos, since at last weave dun
Aweigh with human error.

NOTE: My thinking is always a work in progress. You could mentally insert all my columns in between these two sentences: "This is something I've been thinking about," and "Does this make any sense to you?" I welcome your thoughts. Please send your comments about these columns to: marylaine at netexpress.net. Since I've written a lot of these, some of them many years ago, help me out by telling me which column you're referring to.

I'll write columns here whenever I really want to share an idea with you and can find time to write them . If you want to be notified when a new one is up, send me an e-mail and include "My Word's Worth" in the subject line.
