odd wording in award news
47-231 creates gems such as this: "It's Official: Third Baseman Nick Gilleland is named the 2006 SL2 Outstanding Hitter Award"
I wonder if the authorities would go along with that name change. |

Inserted "Winner" at the end of the line. A simple mistake, easily fixed.
But then I went hunting for other similar errors and was able to exterminate a few more bugs in the database--a couple more like this one and several others where an "award]" token was followed by the word "award" or a synonym. As it says in the Game Guide, we should include the word “Award” in award names to ensure the best-sounding news articles. In keeping with this advice, the database is (now) structured so that the phrase returned by [%batteraward], [%pitcheraward], or [%rookieaward] is assumed to end with the word "Award." It no longer contains any references to a player winning the "[%batteraward] award." This is a great example of how pointing out a single glitch can lead to the discovery of several more. Woot. |
