Spell-check is for forking idioms.

Wow, I've actually joined the Age of Aquarius and installed a blogging app on my iPhone! Just think, I can waste even more time spouting my opinions about useless things to all those who will read them!

Ok, so I don't have an audience. Did that deter Michael Hutchens? Haha, sorry INXS fans, but he was a bit of a wanker.

I gave my left testicle a wee pinch as punishment for that last pun. I deserved it, really I did.

I started this post with a title in reference to spell-checking. I have no idea why really, since spell-check really is our friend. The true enemy of modern written communication is the vile "auto-correct". The program is just a complete jerk, and it occasionally makes us all seem so much more stupid than we truly are. I can't count the times I've caught myself sending a message to a friend asking them "Hey, what are you Doug tonight?"

Come on Auto-Correct, you are killing my reputation as a wannabe quick-witted smart(ish) guy.

Anyway, I'm seriously not going anywhere with this post. It's really just a trial run of this app, to see If it actually works, and to see if I like it. I will conclude this waste of Internet space with a poem:

--A Painfully Sarcastic Poet--

Of all the golden forests, and gentle dawns
Of all the whispering quiet I have drank in my thirsty youth
Not a thing compares to the sweet, inviting sound
Of a wind broken, just as the elevator doors close.
