Rule #19:

It 's spelled "prime."

If you spell it "preem" -  you're wrong. Unquestionably and undeniably wrong.  And you likely don't understand the history of your own sport.

Prime is a french word for bonus, it has nothing to do with "premium" as has too often been claimed of late. 
Riders should have to spell the word out before they can collect their money, and race organisers that spell it wrong in their bible/advert/race report should loose their sanction.

Severe? Perhaps, but we need to stop the erosion before its too late.

Just look at cross country skiing, wich seems to be adopting the concept but spelling it wrong in every article I've come across.

Sigh. Being old and cantankerous is a tough cross to bear.

Rule #73:

You can't retire if you never got paid.

Seriously, if you never got paid, or couldn't get fired for a bad result, it means it wasn't your job. 

You don't retire from a hobby.

The word you are looking for is "quitting."
