Posted Jun 3, 2003 by summerbayexile - Beaten paths are for Beaten men
Whoever gives this a final polish. I have looked through Andrew's excellent sub-editing job and I have just one minor quibble. In the first paragraph 'to more than a melennia ago' would look better as 'more than a thousand years'. The former looks clumsy IMHO and is also a typo I think.
Regards sbe

Question:
Should the Header Read 'Sumobeya' or 'Sumo Beya'?

Hi Ashley,
Sumobeya is correct. Andrew did really well to get through those minefields without blowing himself up.

<butts in>
I've known Andrew (In real life) for many years. It's funny he should be a sub editor when in real life, he's been known to spell shrimp with a 'c'
Oh well, he applies himself I suppose 
BTW, Andrew told me this entry was really interesting, I didn't give the chance to point it out in PR, but I just read it and it is great  !

Just one error, in the Basho paragraph:
"The aim of most rikishi is simply to achieve a majority of wins, or kachikoshi. Kachikoshi ensures the rikishi against demotion, and can even lead to a promotion if it is part of a good series of results. A minority of losses, or makekoshi,..."
The last line should be, "A MAJORITY of losses, or makekoshi,..."
Otherwise, wrestlers can choose between a majority of wins or a minority of losses. Guess most athletes would prefer that.
Final personal quibble: I think Takamisakari should be included as the current showman in Sumo.
Otherwise, good article.

You're obviously a bit more current than I am. I'll keep an eye out for him. As to minority of losses - fair point but I'm sure it will pass under most radars as they'll be mentally exhausted by then

Very impressed with this entry. Found it very interesting. I did pick up on the "minority of losses" thing too though.

Don't mind it Andrew, every sub misses something or something further
The sub for my Seinfeld entry mispelled 'Jujyfruits'
