Just noticed this:
Stallworld's Official Hall of Fame.
Who is that "Dave Hall" guy? He sounds pretty good. |

BTW...any HOF without mentioning the likes of Greg Robinson, Richard Paganelli, Mark Mendoza, Chris Jensen, Brian Talmadge, etc. is no HOF in my book.
The real Fantasy Game HOF

Hey, TSN, how about using some of your Ultimate bucks to hire an editor?
"... the criteria for gaining access to TSN's elite HOF remains very specific."
No, "... the criteria ... remain very specific."
"The criteria for induction into the Hall of Fame is subject to change ..."
No, "... the criteria ... are subject to change ..."
"So without further adieu... "
(So without further farewell?)
It's "without further ado."
Also, if you're going to use an ellipsis at the end of a sentence, it should consist of four dots, not three.
Are there other mistakes in the article? Oh, yes.

Weird thing is, I trust TSN now as i know about them, but when i search the net for competitions, there are hundreds to chose from, the way i tend to chose is by how professional they are, if I found a fantasy site I have never heard of, that says they pay money as prizes, but i saw they have so much bad grammar or spelling, I would quickly doubt whether they were a legitimate business or not.
Infact spelling and grammar errors are one of the biggest marketing no no's in internet business, and drives away more potential customers than you'd imagine.

"i" believe cancermoon is "infact" a very ironic person. ;)

Well then, seeing as how you trust them despite all their grammar errors just goes to show that bad grammar doesn't necessarily mean bad service.
"...hundreds to choose from..."

I don't know that he's saying that bad grammar equates to bad service, Michael. It's more that companies which show bad grammar are less likely to get the opportunity to show their service at all, good or bad.
When I look over resumes for my company, for example, I just toss out any with spelling or grammar errors. Now, the TSN page in question certainly should not rise to the same level as a resume, but several gramatical errors on the same page reflects poorly on their company.
A short note to Erik or Bernie would seem to be appropriate here.

Micheal I trust them because now i know them, with a bit of comprehension you may have worked out i was referring to people who come across TSN for the first time.
As for my error, hmmn, I was trying to spell like an american, don't they spell everything how it sounds??
