Carolina Panthers Edge Denver Broncos in Super Bowl 50 Grammar Proficiency, Research Suggests
In a recent study conducted by writing-enhancement platform Grammarly, it was revealed that Carolina Panthers players commit fewer grammatical mistakes on Twitter compared to their counterparts from the Denver Broncos.
The study analysed tweets from the starters of both teams who had a verified personal Twitter account. It focused on errors such as misspellings, mixed-up homonyms, subject-verb disagreement, and more.
The results showed that Panthers starters made an average of 4.3 mistakes per 100 words, while Broncos starters averaged 4.5 mistakes per 100 words. However, the study did not find a significant difference in error rates between the two teams' starters overall.
Interestingly, the Broncos' offense and Panthers' defense were tied for the most errors, both averaging 5.4 mistakes per 100 words. In contrast, the Broncos' special-teams players made the fewest mistakes of any position group, averaging just 2.1 mistakes per 100 words.
The error rates for the Broncos' offense and Panthers' defense were similar, but the error rates for the Broncos' special teams were significantly lower than those of the offense and defense.
Jared Allen, a Panthers defensive end, had the lowest error rate among all players in the study, with an average of 0.7 mistakes per 100 words. On the other hand, Trai Turner, a Panthers guard, had the highest error rate, with an average of 11.5 mistakes per 100 words.
It is worth noting that the study did not penalise players for using common Twitter conventions such as slang, missing terminal punctuation, sentence fragments, abbreviations, hashtags, and team/player nicknames. The results were verified and tallied by a team of live proofreaders.
The search results do not provide information about the Carolina Panthers player who performed best in the analysis of spelling errors. Nevertheless, the study by Grammarly provides an interesting insight into the grammatical accuracy of professional athletes' tweets.
