SHARE Bears fans use correct grammar

When NFL fans comment on team websites, they tend to smack talk and not use proper grammar.

According to the grammar checker website, Grammarly, the Bears fans have the 10th-best grammar among the 32 NFL teams.

The study analyzed 150 comments on each NFL team’s website and looked for punctuation, grammar and spelling mistakes. Grammarly ranked the 32 NFL teams by mistakes per 100 words.

The Bears fans averaged six grammar mistakes per 100 words. Chicago fans have the third-best grammar among the NFC North teams — Green Bay Packer (5.1) and Detroit Lions (4.2) used better grammar than the Bears fans.
