2 things

1, Can't the Karma bot perform some rudimentary spelling and grammar check? Many of the posts contain errors that aren't simply typing mistakes, they seem to suggest a lack of basic junior school reading and writing abilities. If you're worried about discriminating agains those with Dyslexia (or other excuses) they could by identified by a big yellow star in their signature and the Karma Bot could go easy on them. One of my pet hates is there, their & they're being used incorrectly, christ what is so difficult?

2, Spelling, its bad enough without the BCF spell checker trying to force me to be American, some words can and do end with the letters ise, these don't all need to be corrected to ize.
