The red penis?

Tell me I read this wrong.

Well. They do say the penis, mightier than the sword.

Or something like that.

Personably, I took nothing a way from that ridicule us video. It was a complete paste of thyme.

Nope. A play on the "red pen is" your friend. All about NOT using spell check as your editor.

I teach beginning college composition classes, and issue a warning at the beginning of every semester:

Don't trust your spell-checker. Ewe mite fined its knot write awl the thyme.

But it's a losing battle. In an odd way, despite all the programmers' good intentions with this tool, it has had a negative effect, rendering students' brains even lazier than they were when I was one. Real editing requires attention, brain-energy; the spell-checker requires none.
