ESPN Graphics Typos

[Rich]

ESPN's attention to detail to its in-game graphics has been at an extremely high level lately. Here are two we recently caught in our house. It's become a fun game - spot the typo.

Harry Giles competes with energy and what?

7055

Huh, what state is that?

Hey, when you've got a skipper-run organization and spend two much time on Grayson "hating," who cares about a few speling errers. :rolleyes:

(BTW, Bobby Cremins may have composed the first graphic.) ;)

OPK, saving that one up just for this thread? Glad to give the assist!

[devildeac]

Two much time? ;)

That's why I posted "few" speling errers and not just too speling errers. ;)

The graphics guy must've been watching The Untouchables.

UNC chemistry professor: “That just means they are positively charged to defend their title this season!”

UNC chemistry students: “Huh?”

Easy mistake to make. The N and the C are only 4 letters apart on the keyboard ;)

[BandAlum83]

Interesting how things can be viewed differently.

While the N and the C are the anchors of a string of 4 keys, I would say they are 3 keys apart. One could also say there are only two keys between them.

They are, you may note, typed with two different index fingers when using the traditional touch-type typing method. I imagine one prone to dyslexia might easily make this keying error - left index finger down a row vs. right index finger down a row.

BTW, DO NOT mistake me for an ESPN apologist.

Totally off topic, but I use my right index finger for the N, and my left middle finger for the C. I also use my left middle for other things related to the cheaters.

Left middle is probably correct. I wasn't properly trained.

Then you have something in common with a "student-athlete" in Chapel Hill.

Excuse me? I thought we were being civil!

I have a degree from a real University that is generally thought to be a top ten institution of Higher Learning! It's just that Mario Teaches Typing wasn't part of the core curriculum as it might have been down the road. (I wonder how many "student-athletes" broke their hands trying to master the semi-colon on Mario Teaches Typing. It was probably mega frustrating as they didn't know what it was used for!)

I'm assuming (hoping) you know I was being sarcastic. I shall never again not use the rolling eyes emoji!

Maybe that's why ESPN is rife with typos...they were also taught by Mario.

I thought you'd be able to tell I was being snarky for being compared to the non-students down the road ;)

Actually, Mario was pretty cool. My oldest son learned how to type using it on an old Mac SE, I believe.

Seriously.

Everyone knows Landale spells his first name “Jock”. Sheesh.

I was concentrating on the Coslon instead of Colson. ;)

I'm amphibious so I'm able to use right and left middle fingers with equal dexterity for certain "schools."

Most TV operations fail at on-screen graphics. I have decided the problem is that they assign the lowest-level people to that job -- typically students working for little or no pay.

I'll give YES Network partial credit for this one

Maybe it's an Adidas sponsored tracker.

That would be 100,000, not 1000

Just ask Brian . . .

Oops, wrong thread

No screen grab, but the halftime graphic for the women's soccer tournament used the phrase "Elight Eight" - I'm assuming that's not what the NCAA is actually calling it.

[Ggallagher]

Yeah, that one made me scratch my head. You can't blame "Elight" on auto courrect.

[devildeac]

I'm still holding out for this one:

c*rolina six.

Or, talking about "u"nc footwear, you know, the c*rolina socks.

(And, if I have to explain either, I'm starting off with frog stories :rolleyes:.)

[Rich]

No matter how you spell it, we haven't been very good at foul shots.

At least the important part is correct.

On ESPN.com: “Will Ben Simmons Become the Next LeBron?”

That must be a typo right? 18 games into his career. Has to be a typo.
