Would be nice, but seems kinda unlikely to ever happen.
Also, there's a Suggestions and Ideas forum. Probably would get better exposure in that section.

Regarding bios, there's a conundrum. You already have the option of writing the bio in another app and cut-and-paste it into the bio field in-game. Lots of people do this. The problem is the really incompetent and clueless people who THINK they know how to spell. They're not going to take that extra step and, if there was a built-in spell check option, they wouldn't use it.
See Dunning-Kruger Effect. Briefly (and insultingly), stupid people are too stupid to realize how stupid they are. Well-informed people know enough to doubt their own competence.

It was just a good Idea...guess its been shot down...
It's like seat belts in cars - definitely a good idea, but how many people would actually use them if it wasn't the law? And, even with it being a legal requirement, how many people STILL don't use them?

I have had a Few issues with spelling. It's a Common mistake now a days? Right?
Maybe you could add a spell check to chat and bios? One without auto-correct. Thanks.
