Don't overreact! Speaking for myself, I often horrify my sister when I Google for something with a terrible misspelling because sometimes I am a lazy typist; and Google fixes it for me like magic! If only real-life was as easy ;)
- ars 15y agoI do that same. When it matters I spell correctly (including in IMs). But for google searches or when I have spell check I don't bother.
- yarone 15y agoI often mistype stuff because my fingers are offset on on the keyboard! I try to type "hello world" but it comes out as "y3oo9 294ie" or similar. I always wondered how often folks do this and why Google doesn't detect it and suggest "did you mean"?
- jarin 15y agoProbably because that adds 6x more possibilities to the search space (and that's assuming consistent transposition in a certain direction).
