The Grammerly team reviewed the
most recent news articles posted to the fan websites of
top sports organizations then collected 150 of the most recent reader
comments on these articles and assessed them for spelling, grammar, and
punctuation.
Among the findings:
Spelling in Sports? It’s Hit or Miss
- Baseball
fans are nearly batting a thousand when it comes to spelling, with only
1.6 mistakes per 100 words.
- Wrestling fans are
the worst spellers. An average of 9.2 mistakes per 100 words puts them
down for the count.
With Opening Day fast-approaching, I’m so proud to see that
baseball fans are looking literate! (I’m also rather proud of hockey fans, who
come in second.)

(Is it any surprise that cricket fans are among the
chattiest, given how long those matches or games or pitches or wickets or whatever
they are last?)
