Talking of automatic tools (for spelling in this case, but any design
tools are relevant in this discussion) reminded me of the following
poem (I have no idea where it came from or who the author is):
I have a spelling checker
It came with my PC
it clearly marks for my revue
Mistakes I cannot sea.
I ran this poem threw it
I'm sure your pleased to no
Its letter perfect in its weigh
My speller told me saw.
