Report: Utah Jazz fans have made up a player on the Internet
Listen, Jazz fans. You're among friends here. We understand that you're very smart, lovely, talented people with respectable opinions. So please appreciate that we're just the messenger here.
Now that we have all of that out of the way, we feel we can speak frankly: According to one website, Jazz fans have the worst spelling and grammar of all 30 NBA fanbases, at least in comments sections.
This from a study by the website Grammarly, which Deseret News writer Jody Gennessy dissected earlier this week. And there's an interesting tidbit in Gennessy's findings that helps explain Utah's typos:
As Gennessy points out, Utah did score well on vocabulary. More importantly, Jazz fans are highly intelligent when it comes to basketball. And that's what really matters here.
Grammarly’s study revealed a couple of other interesting findings. For one, the five most common words used by Jazz fans were: Jazz, Burk, Burke, average and Utah.
Utah and Jazz make sense, of course.
Burke is the last name of Trey Burke, the third-year point guard.
Average might be what type of a season some fans expect. But Burk is the odd one, considering the Jazz have the aforementioned Burke on their team as well as shooting guard Alec Burks with an 's' on the end of his name.
There isn’t, however, anybody whose name is spelled Burk. That fact might explain Jazz fans’ low ranking.
