I don't know about you, but I love me some @checky.

What's @checky?

@checky is @ragepeanut's creation and might be my favorite bot ever.

Basically, it's looking for typos when you mention fellow Steemians in your posts.

Why is this useful?

Well, if you mess up a tag, the person you're hoping sees your mention might never find it. @checky alerts you to this so you can edit your post, helping you connect with who you wanted to connect with.

For example, I'll slightly mess up tagging @newmadicsewl (who should be at @nomadicsoul) and, unless there's another @newmadicsewl out there, @checky will be the first in the comment section below, letting me know I might want to check my spelling.

I've unwittingly summoned him (or her?) a few times referring to @suitcasemama and I's offspring in posts using the non-existent @suitcasebaby tag:

And at first I found I was explaining myself to @checky...

...but recently I've been having a bit more fun with him/her/it...

...and he/her/it seems to be having a bit of fun with me, by trying to get me in trouble with the wife!

It's almost enough to make me want to make some bad mentions on purpose just so I get some @checky love in the comments.

Anyway, I know it's been pretty tense around here since HF20, so I wanted to make a bit of a random post thanking a stranger for his service and let him know I'm enjoying his creation. Thanks @ragepeanooot!

Post over - @checky, do your thing!!!
