    Colombia? You mean the Republic of Colombia?  Trying to educate people on covers will never work.  You are speaking to people that think "points" are scored in baseball games.

    Spelling the name of lesser known countries or foreign words is to be expected from those with an average education. No big deal.

    The issue is with the folks who have seen it spelled correctly all over the place for the past two weeks and continue to not just make the simple correction.

    Do I really care? Not at all.

    Every stoopid person out there is one less person competing for my job and one more person making me look better. Bring it!

    PS: Covers since day 1 incorrectly spells Colombia. I cannot change my location. Again, I don't care.

    Here we go again w another 1 of these obama lovin condescending liberal elites who doesn't believe in American acceptionalism.    That's what's great bout these minor league sports forums that had to steal its name from r national past time.   Not only do we get to sit there and watch a punch of primadonna acting brats run around the field for 2 hours without scoring anything, but now we get to enjoy r weekly grammar lesson from some third world lecturer.   Hey learner as long as I have u on the line I'm confused cuz being the front runner I am I wanted to buy a Brazil jersey to show off but some of the stores were spelling it Brasil.  Any suggestions

    ^I wouldn't buy that shirt spelt Brasil, because many Brazilians would probably be offended such a tool supported their country.

    I would suggest you buy another shirt, one which states, 'I am a complete toss'. Ahh, but you might already own that.

    Are we getting fined?

    Is a misspelled word a loss in a bet?

    I am guessing that misspelling Colombia has lost people a fortune on here. Do you know why? Because people reading the misspelling of a country in a dumbarse post would cause those with at least half a brain, to think twice. 'Should I take Colombia when this moron can't even spell the country's name correctly and he's predicting what I think is worth playing'. Got it chief?

    Sorry learner yur completely out of touch.   This is a millennial dominated texting world where spelling is a lost art and nobody cares.   More importantly, it has 0 impact on picking a winning side.   DWI( deal w it).   Us Americans might not be the most educated sort but I'm guessing a condescending prick is a condescending prick no matter what country yur in

    If you hadn't noticed shiek, that most of what is contained in this thread is in tongue in cheek. If you didn't want to read it, you didn't have to. As you can see from many posts, the constant misspelling of Colombia has irritated many people. I wanted to help curb this in my own way. If you had a bad day or your missus beat you up because you are a no-hoper, then you might want to kick the dog some.
    Now scoot.

    What's truly amazing is you were allowed to reproduce.

    I went to an ungraded school when i was 15 , they kicked me out of
    public school cause i went to the school and chocked the principal
    he had it coming, u know. If u had a problem with another kid
    they would lock u in a room with each other and see who wins.
    They has a teacher their, a gym teacher, who i saw slap a kid
    upside his face , really hard, for being oout of line.. Guess those
    days are gone now, huh..have a nice day. bro!
