So this is only a yes or know question?

I've also noticed the American spelling has crept into English down here.
The past of 'spell' was always 'spelt' to me but 'spelled' is now also acceptable.
I was taught to spell 'colour' with the letter 'u' but autocorrect wants to spell it without the 'u' - color.

You too can spell colour with or without 'U'.

I have a spelling chequer,
It came with my pea sea,
It plainly marques four my revue,
Miss steaks eye cannot sea.
When eye strike a quay, right a word, 

I weight four it two say, 

Weather eye am wrong oar wright, 

It shows me strait aweigh.
As soon as a mist ache is maid, 

I nose bee fore two late, 

And eye can put the error rite, 

Its really, really grate.
I've run this poem threw it 

I'm shore your pleased two no, 

Its letter perfect in it's weigh,
My chequer tolled me sew.

When I am perfect, I will do just that. Until then, I'll review.

Now you've done it. Next it will be grammar.
What is this Forum coming to?

[Nyghthawk]

I try to scan before posting. If I miss something I go back in and edit.

My spelling is horrible. Without spell-check I never would have made it through college!

That's, "To what is this forum coming?"

Thanks "A-Mac" for correcting the error. Those dangling participles drive me crazy! I keep waiting for the next word when a sentence ends in ..."to".
To what?
