According to Geoff Foster of the Wall Street Journal, Chicago White Sox Sox fans are a little smarter than Chicago Cubs fans when it comes to discussing their teams online.

The study was made by the automated-proofreading company Grammarly, which concluded that the New York Mets have the dumbest fans in MLB. The study was essentially evaluating the grammar and spelling by fans using comments on each team’s official site.

Grammarly used the same methodology for MLB teams. It reviewed 150 reader comments from the news section of each team website—10, 592 total words, on average, per team. Mets fans had the most errors, making 13.9 mistakes per 100 words. It’s quite fitting considering the team’s unofficial slogans in past World Series years—“Ya Gotta Believe” (1973) and “Baseball Like It Oughta Be” (1986)—were littered with typographical errors.

Enough about the shitty Mets. Cubs fans averaged 5.2 errors per 100 words, while White Sox fans averaged 4.8 mistakes per 100 words. According to this study, White Sox fans make the third fewest mistakes among all MLB fan bases.

Most teams are in the 6-10 percent range, which is good I guess. That’s an A in school! These are the dumbest fan bases according to this study based on mistakes per 100 words.

Mets, 13.9/100 Phillies, 13.5/100 Astros, 12.7/100 Royals, 12.4/100 Yankees, 12.1/100 Tigers, 11.7/100 A’s, 10.7/100 Rockies, 10.3/100 Braves, 10.2 erros/100

Too bad that being smart doesn’t equate to seeing your team win titles. The five teams with the best grammar and spelling (Indians, Padres, White Sox, Mariners, Cubs) root for teams that have collectively won four titles in the past 100 years. Of course in Chicago we know the White Sox won the World Series in 2005 and will always bring it up when talking trash with Cubs fans.

There was also this discovery.

Grammarly also calculated which fans were the most verbose in their comments. This honor goes to the fans of the Kansas City Royals. Between their lengthy rants and rampant All-Star ballot stuffing, one thing has become clear: Royals fans spend too much time on the Internet.

So, there you have it White Sox fans. You make less mistakes than Cubs fans on the Internet. Here are the full rankings.

Back in April the same study was conducted for NFL fans. That study showed Green Bay Packers fans are slightly smarter than Chicago Bears fans.
