A
Washington Post article from last week on some Google shenanigans:
Quote:
[...] Google decided to see what words people in each of the 50 states struggle to spell.
To do this, employees looked at Google searches of "how to spell ______" in each of the states from Jan. 1 to April 30 this year. Whatever word filled that blank most often in each state became denoted as that state's "most misspelled word."
The results may not be scientific, but they sure were amusing.
