You need a spell chequer!
Technically, Chaucer does.
Uniform spelling is a modern affectation. All true libertarians
should be against uniform spelling as it is an unwarranted
influence on a person's freedom.
When Germany, Austria and Switzerland recently reformed the rules for
spelling German, it resulted in a constitutional court case, with some
(unsuccessfully) claiming it was an infringement on their freedom of
expression.
Uniform spelling is a communist plot to pollute our precious
body fluids.
Normative spelling advocates, like normative grammarians, are like Cnut
trying to turn back the tide. This begs the question why some of us even
try...
