Not absent - still here!
Keep Calm and Carry On Poeming. 😂

This sale by my spell checker will reduce their surplus stock

Which includes a pile of letters that I’ve been keen to block;

They push my letter S aside without a pardon me,

      Nothing worse than to have a word changed without knowing it's spelling downgraded and even worse when no matter if spelling it correctly it insists it is wrong. Very confusing the difference in United States spelling and British is it gray or grey? I would prefer black and white.
