Jokes have been written on the topic of this story for a long time. As I tell people often, proof-reading is a lost art. And yes, I realize that I have typos in my post. Deal with it. Excerpt:

Will defusing a bomb necessarily diffuse the situation? Is it correct to pedal a bicycle or pedal ideas?

According to the editors of the new Concise Oxford Dictionary, up to half of us do not know the answers.

As part of compiling the 11th edition of the reference book, which is out today, researchers discovered an increasing confusion over simple words and phrases.

And now the joke:

SPELL CHECKER:
Eye halve a spelling checker
It came with my pea sea
It plainly marques four my revue
Miss steaks eye kin 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 a weigh.

As soon as a mist ache is maid
It nose bee fore two long
And eye can put the error rite
Its rare lea every wrong.

Eye have run this poem threw it
I am shore your pleased two no
Its letter perfect awl the weigh
My chequer tolled me sew.
