For the Newcomers to WA and for some of the Oldtimers as well
I have gotten past the introduction to sharing posts within the community. As I have taken the opportunity to share my own and view others I became somewhat concerned. Please do not take me the wrong way. I am only blogging here in hopes of helping everyone. I have seen some really amazing sites. What concerns me is reading through some content. I have posted a few personal comments, but even though I preempted my comment with, 'if I might suggest', I was starting feel like I may have discouraged a few people.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, use the spelling and grammar check. As much as I love reading, it has been difficult to get through some of these posts. Listen, I FAILED English class three years in a row in high school. I know it is the hardest language to understand when it comes to grammar. I also know that in BLOGGING we are writing as though we are having a conversation. Even in that respect, using a proper sentence structure helps in the process of reading. Also, I believe that a well grammatically written post can only enhance your website. For those of you that are from a NON English-speaking background, I know you are doing your best to blog here in American English, and I applaud your efforts. I hope that you will take the information that you have learned and create duplicate websites in your home language. Very much like Kyle, I want every one here to succeed. We have the tools available to create amazing websites with amazing content. Do yourself a HUGE favor and use the tools provided.
After having said that, I have wondered why on my website the word press does NOT have this feature. Is it better to write on the WA site then post? I guess for that reason alone it really is. I am guilty as well of not checking grammar and spelling unless I go through the WA site. So I have copied my posts and transferred them to WA in order to be able to use this feature.
I wish everyone here Many Blessings, Love and Light!

Yes please make your content look professionally written by checking grammar and spelling. I highly recommend using Grammarly. It is very helpful to anyone who is not an English major or those where English is their second language. I downloaded it to my computer so everything I write anywhere gets grammar and spell checked.
Hehehe I used that grammatically Inside our system because I want to lean properly also, thank you at your remind.
Nice reminder, Gabrielle! Thanks for sharing!
