There are a few English words that really should not be in a spellchecker dictionary. I have removed "pubic," "loose" and "gut" and a few others. figuring that the slight inconvenience of having them get flagged is worth it to find the places where I really meant to use the more-common "public," "lose, and "guy."
I should make a list and publish it instead of just deleting them as I notice them. Any suggestions for that list would be welcome.

The spell-checker song:
I have a spelling checker. It came with my pea sea. It plane lee Mark's fore my re-view Miss steaks aye can knot C.
Iran this poem threw it. Your sure lee glad two no. It is core wrecked in every weigh, My checker tolled me sew.
A checker is a bless sing. It freeze yew lodes of thyme. It helps me right stiles ewe Can. reed, And AIDS me when aye rime.
Each frays come posed up on my screen Is trussed two bee a joule. The checker pours o'er every word To cheque sum spelling rule.
Bee fore wee rote with checkers Hour spelling mite deck line, If wee R. lacks oar have a laps, We wood bee maid two wine.
Butt now bee cause my spelling Is checked with such grate flare, There are know faults 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 words sew fare too here.
To rite with care is quite a feet Of witch won should bee proud, And wee mussed dew the best wee Can., Sew flaws R. knot aloud.
Sow ewe can sea why aye dew prays Such soft wear four pee sees, And why eye brake in 2 averse With righting sure too please.
