This is what comes from relying WAAAaaaaayyyy too much on technology to correct our errors.  Proofreaders at newspapers are about as common as hand-cranks on cars these day because every writer now composes their work on a PC, and has come to rely on spellcheck to catch any mistakes.

However, if you run E'line's little meme through spellcheck, it won't even so much as hiccup before it tells you that everything is just hunky-dory (a term that, by the way, didn't even faze my own spellcheck just now).

Reminds me of a poem I saw back when the first word processors (a/k/a 'smart' typewriters with a spellcheck program built into it) and PCs came out —

I have a spelling checker, it came with my PC.
It plane lee marks four my revue miss steaks aye can knot sea.
Eye ran this poem threw it, your sure reel glad two no.
Its vary polished in it's weigh.  My checker tolled me sew.

A checker is a bless sing,  It freeze yew lodes of thyme.
It helps me right awl stiles two reed, And aides me when eye rime.
Each frays come 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 a veiling checker's, hour spelling mite decline,
And if we're lacks oar have a laps, we wood bee maid too wine.
Butt now bee cause my spelling is checked with such grate flare,
Their are know fault's with in my cite; of nun eye am a wear.

Now spelling does knot phase me.  It does knot bring a tier.
My pay purrs awl due glad den with wrapped word's fare as hear.
To rite with care is quite a feet of witch won should bee proud,
And wee mussed dew the best wee can, sew flaw's are knot aloud.

Sow ewe can sea why aye dew pray such soft wear four pea seas,
And why eye brake in two averse buy righting want too pleas.

Good noose. That's a lode off my mine.
