This is something that has often bugged me about bloggers on Shine. I have been blogging in one form or another at various sites for 6 years now. I go through phases where I do not post a lot and then I will post something. The one thing that bugs me more than the kewl speak or the ones that type in all caps are the people who do not bother to use spellcheck. Do bloggers think it is cool to misspell everything? I think it makes the place look unprofessional with all the blog posts that show up in chatter where things are not spelled correctly. Granted I do have my moments where I am not always on the ball with my spelling but, as soon as I see an error I correct it. A lot of older women frequent this site and are put off by the childish impression that you get when you see everything misspelled. Shine is there anyway you can implement spellcheck into your software used for blogging. It would make this place look much more appealing to older individuals such as myself. Do the bloggers on this site not want their posts to look nice?

Report AbuseI don't know how to spell check when I blog, I know sometimes my word are misspeled but I can't find a spell check icon, and sometimes I seriously can not remember how to spell a certain word, so if you ever read my blogs I apologize in advance for the errors.

Report AbuseIf you have microsoft word or some other wordprocessing application on your computer. I just compose my blogs in that and then I just copy and paste into my blog. It has a spellchecker built in. Shine does need a spellchecker built in.

Report AbuseI belivie the whole point of shine,Is that it's not for pros. Have you ever read a story that had bad grammer and it was amazing? Also the kewl talk; for example using u instead of you is way easier and using capital letters adds EXPRESSION! Hopefully you dont offended easily I do not mean any harm. But please understand this site lets people from all around the world, many ages and diff. educational backgrounds blog.
