Question

Read and listen to the poem. What is it about? What has caused all the spelling mistakes?

Answer

It's about a spelling checker. A lot of words are spelt incorrectly - using a word that sounds the same, but has a different meaning. Because the words exist, the spelling checker won't identify with them as wrong as it can't understand the context of sentences.
