I’ve been looking for goggles on E-bay the last few days and **every $\*&!@ time** I type “welding googles” in the search box. Is there someone I can sue? ---

Come on now, you wouldn’t wish the most popular web site in the world away just so you could type goggles (that _was_ kind of tricky) correctly, would you? ---

I can’t remember the last time I actually typed “google”. There’s a Google search field on my browser, and it’s also bookmarked. ---

I thought you were going to complain about misspelling the word [googol](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Googol). ---

I’m an American; I’m always looking for someone I can sue for free $money Money MONEY! Google has plenty. I’m getting CTS from constantly hitting the backspace while trying to type “goggles”. > [@corkboard](#): > > I can’t remember the last time I actually typed “google”. There’s a Google search field on my browser, and it’s also bookmarked. I no longer type “google” for the web page but I’m constantly using it in correspondence (usually as a verb). ---
