Spell cheque

It's not that there haven't been examples of PPSp (Piss-Poor Spelling) since the bear/bare and past/passed debates, it's just that I have been in too much despair to even record them, but two came upon me in such quick succession recently that I have to share them because it's selfish not to.

Coming up to Burns' Night, I mentioned that I was going to be making cock-a-leekie soup for friends and had had a trial run, which turned out to be delicious.  New colleague asked if I would let her have the recipe so I duly emailed it over.  I got an email by return: 'Sounds yum!  I will defiantly give it a go.'

Am I the only one seeing a cartoon of an angry woman in a chef's hat, standing in the middle of a kitchen, hands on hips, fuming, 'I will give it a go, I don't care what you say ...' ?

Only an hour later, I had calendar invitation from a colleague changing the time of a scheduled meeting, stating, 'I hope you don't mind that I've reduced the length of this meeting.  I'm trying to illuminate time-wasting.'

Hm, apart from the thought that she considers our meetings to be a waste of time (frankly, so do I!) the image of said colleague fumbling around in the dark with a torch, shining a spotlight on the words 'time-wasting' did make me chuckle.

I guess they both ran spell cheque but it didn't no what they were trying to say.
