I found a test about memory loss that I was going to share on this blog but I forgot where it was.
Bonus humor (an old verse that made the rounds several months ago):
Ode to a spell checker
Eye halve a spelling checker
It came with my pea sea
It plainly marks four my revue
Miss steaks eye kin knot wea.
Eye strike a key and type a word
and weight four it two say
Wheather eye am wrong oar write
It shows me strait a weigh
As soon as a mist ache is maid
It nose bee fore two long
And eye can put the error rite
Its rare lea ever wrong.
Eye have run this poem threw it
I am shore your pleased two no
Its letter perfect awl the weigh
My spell checker tolled me sew.
Here are my results
