I was a lttle shocked to see your report of 3.2M hits for the correct speeling versus 1.8M for incorrect. This is a ratio of just 1.8! Google normally has much higher power than this, as the arbiter of spelling disputes.
A quick google reveals however that your search is for "principal"+"components" and principle"+"components". A search for the complete strings yields a ratio of 14.8 in favour of the latter. - Giles > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Spencer Graves > Sent: 26 May 2004 17:25 > To: Martin Maechler > Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [R] Common principle components > > > Google just returned "about" 1.8M hits for "principle components" and > 3.2M hits for "principal components".
