One out of two isn't bad

"Touts sell advice of dubious provenance to guillable [sic] marks."
One out of two isn't bad. I was impressed that you got "provenance" right. That you didn't come close with "gullible" doesn't surprise me. You're still spelling "no one" wrong, after it's been pointed out to you ten times that it's two words!
As for your remark, "tout" has taken on a pejorative connotation, even though it's original meaning, and the first in the dictionary, is still "one who offers opinions or advice, often for a fee."
In any event, the poor choice of words is Kim's; it has no bearing on Dan Gordon. I wouldn't call Dan a "good tout." I'd call him the best NFL and NBA sides handicapper I've ever seen. Dan's abilities don't diminish simply because people use different words to describe them.
For example, you're a dismal speller, no matter what anyone might say to the contrary! :-)
