@chetfaliszek I think sports are changing, though. "Stays the same for 100 years" won't be valued by future generations, or even the next one.

@kirkwoll @nberardi @robconery @SaraJChipps I don't think a spelling mistake in the title of a professional work that you're selling for money, should be considered a "minor detail". Opinions could vary, I guess? Maybe spelling mistakes in resumes don't matter either? 🤷‍♂️

@kirkwoll @nberardi @robconery @SaraJChipps that ship sadly sailed in March 2018, when Rob mailed me the words "f**k you". Wait, my apologies. That isn't correct. What was mailed was "go f**k yourself." I will indeed do that, I guess, but I'd also advise my fellow peers to pay attention to details, like spelling.
