The Redskins Are The Best! (At Being Bad At Grammar)

 

WSJ - Grammarly, an automated proofreading company, can use algorithms to check writing for more than 400 types of spelling, grammar and punctuation errors. Armed with this, the Count did the one thing that made the most sense: Make Grammarly rank each NFL fan base on its writing skills. To do so, they reviewed 150 reader comments that were at least 50 words long from the news section of each NFL team website (12,728 total words, on average, per team). The Redskins finished dead last with 16.5 mistakes per 100 words—roughly 30% worse than New Orleans Saints fans, the NFL’s second most typo-prone fan base. It should be noted that there was no real correlation between losing and grammar/spelling errors, as the New England Patriots fans were the fourth worst in Grammarly’s sample. Top English honors went to the Detroit Lions, who averaged just 4.2 mistakes per 100 words. Lions fans were also tied with Browns fans for fewest spelling mistakes. It’s possible this is just a byproduct of having to use the word “Ndamukong” less often. That burden is now on Miami Dolphins fans.

 

Ohhhh suck our dicks, rest of the NFL. Suck our dicks. Redskins don’t win? Well, scoreboard. 16.5 grammar mistakes per 100 words in the comment sections of the team’s website. It’s lonely up here at the top. Shouts to the Patriots for coming in 4th. Almost as good as us, but not quite. But what the fuck with Detroit being all smart? Redskins fans make 4x more mistakes than Detroit? That’s nuts. So here we are, Redskins fans, our goals for 2015 season: Spell better and win 5 games.
