In all honesty I do like headings, although I like a nice chunk of writing under each one. It puts me off when I see one sentence under a heading and the next heading straight away.

Having headings in a review is simply personal choice and being present or not, I doubt would effect whether a crown is given out or not.

I prefer to see them but would not rate down or not nominate if they were not present.

I wonder if I'm doing something terribly wrong when I simply refuse to use a spellchecker when everybody else says "spell check everything". I just can't get it through my head that a simple computer program will understand exactly what I'm saying (and correcting me when I know there is no mistake in my sentence).

As for headers, I think they are more beneficial if the review happens to turn into a long one (not saying a review should be long... please, don't throw stuff at me), but for short and average length reviews they are not really necessary at all. At least that's how I feel.

What's it like to be so perfect? Sigh..

I have never really got the "spellcheck" advice either.

Proof read..yes.

Headings...I don't pretend to understand dyslexia at all, but most written texts do not come with headings every five sentences.

I have done reviews with headings myself, I just don't think they are necessary most of the time. The language and use of paragraphs should chunk down the content, not the heading.

Just pointing out that a couple of reads through a review should iron out most mistakes. I know I correct sentences all the time just for the reason that sometimes the structure of one sounds so stupid that it needs to be rephrased. Can a spellchecker do that, huh?

It will look at parts of a sentence, and suggest (e.g.) passive sentences could be reworded...but as for reading the entire sentence...no it is not that intelligent!

Particularly if there isn't anything wrong with the actual sentence, but I just don't like how it sounds.

Even when I've spaced my paragraphs up appropriately, I've had on occasions dyslexic members ask if I could add headings to make the review easier to read.

Going back to what makes a review crown worthy, what puts me off nominating is when a review goes all around the houses to get to the point. While I don't mean a review should be 2 or 3 sentences long, I don't what to read too much about how when they washed they hair one day reminded them they had to by a Bread maker. While a funny stories make an interesting read and can at times enhance the review, I prefer that on the whole the review stays on track. Lisa x

I wasn't sure how to bring up the topic of the "readability" of your reviews though Aaron...

It's easy Helen.

"Oh Aaron, your reviews rock and are everso reeadable!"
