Grauniad agrees wiv me.
The Oxford University Press blame it all on spellcheckers.

ODE TO SPELL CHECKERS
I have a spelling checker
I disk covered four my PC.
It plane lee marks four my revue
Miss steaks aye can knot see.
Eye ran this poem threw it.
Your sure real glad two no
Its very polished in its weigh,
My checker tolled me sew.
A checker is a blessing.
It freeze yew lodes of thyme.
It helps me right awl stiles to reed,
And aides me when aye rime.
Each frays comes posed up on my screen
Eye trussed too bee a joule
The checker pours o'er every word
To cheque sum spelling rule.
Bee fore wee rote with checkers
Hour spelling was in deck line,
Butt now when wee dew have a laps,
Wee are not maid to wine.
And now bee cause my spelling
Is checked with such grate flare,
There are know faults in awl this peace,
Of nun eye am a wear.
To rite with care is quite a feet
Of witch won should be proud,
And wee mussed dew the best wee can,
Sew flaws are knot aloud.
That's why eye brake in two averse
Cuz eye dew want to please.
Sow glad eye yam that I did bye
This soft wear four pea seas.
The Internet is blamed for the lowering of literacy. Blogs and e-mails are treated as a spoken, rather a written, medium. It can also be blamed for plagiarism because I can't remember who I ode this post to.
