In this poem some words have been substituted by homophones - words with the same sound but different spelling. It proves that computer spelling checkers are not infallible!

　　Eye Halve a Spelling Chequer

　　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 quay 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 really ever wrong。

　　Eye halve run this poem threw it

　　I am shore your pleased two no

　　Its letter perfect in it's weigh

　　My chequer tolled me sew。

　　Correct English version

　　I have a spelling checker

　　It came with my PC

　　It plainly marks for my review

　　Mistakes I cannot see

　　I strike a key and type a word

　　And wait for it to say

　　Whether I am wrong or right

　　It shows me straight away

　　As soon as a mistake is made

　　It knows before too long

　　And I can put the error right

　　It’s rarely ever wrong

　　I have run this poem through it

　　I am sure you’re pleased to know

　　It’s letter perfect in its way

　　My checker told me so

　　怎么样，这首诗是不是挺有趣呢？它可以算是一种文字游戏，像汉语中的“桐子落，童子乐”“这鸭头不是那丫头”一样，都是利用同音词开的玩笑。在选用同音词时，它们的词性配合也基本符合一般语法，这样才在拼写检查面前蒙混过关。我们从这首诗中除了可以学到不少同音词外，是不是还该提醒自己：以后背单词时可要记清楚同音词的不同拼法，可别混淆了。那样的话，电脑的拼写检查也帮不了你！
