Importance of manual proof reading

A little tip, when depending on technology.
While recent net browsing I saw a very interesting poetic way of bringing attention to an important issue, important because it may turn out to be embarrassing. When we run spell check while making a document on an unreliable software package and you have typed ‘then’ instead of ‘than’, it will not be filtered as it is not a misspelled word, so my point is pretty much related to writing skill that student must have an ability and habit to proof read their written material instead of totally relying on the technology, following is a short poem which is very nicely written carrying instructions regarding the relevant issue. It is taken from a site named ‘Funny tips’.

Spell Checker

I halve a spelling checker,
It came with my pea see.
It plainly marks four my revue
Mistakes I dew 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 aweigh.

As soon as a mist ache is maid
It nose bee fore two long
And eye can put the era rite
Its rarely ever wrong.

I've scent this massage threw it,
And I'm shore your pleased too no
Its letter prefect in every weigh;
My checker tolled me sew.

Though in office 2007 it gives suggestions, for some words in the poem above.
