34 days before the start of the World Scrabble Championship 2011 in Warsaw a Polish PR agency released an article written in Polish about the forthcoming event.
What interesting facts did I learn from it?
1. My last name has changed from Pięta to Pieta and my fellow Polish player is called Rafal and not Rafał anymore. (NOT TRUE)
2. Pakorn Nemitrmansuk has declared a fierce fight to defend his title. (PROBABLY TRUE)
3. Rafal, Wojtek and I have been preparing for the event for months. (HOW DID THEY KNOW THIS?)
4. To excel in this game you need to read the Official Scrabble Dictionary (NOT SURE ABOUT THAT)
5. There will be approximately 4000 games played during the Championship (NOT TRUE - there will be no more than 2000 games)
I must say you'd expect from a good PR agency to proofread and verify their texts before publishing them.
It looks like this one was written by someone who 1. has difficulties with counting and 2. didn't even bother to check the names of Polish players and just copied and pasted them from the WSC 2011 registration site.
PooR!
