................Funny story behind this typo.

When I went to the story to make sure it was still there, I was ammused
how an MSN ad flashed all over the screen. Then I typed the post and
spell-checked it, and was puzzled how the spell-checker didn't recognize
the word "Google" by now.  Until I realized who's software I'm using
with Outlook. So I typed a word that wasn't in the English language but
WAS in a particular software company's vocabularly and YUP, it
recognized it!  

Not only that it advised the second "P" should be capitalized.

Only hitch is, it machine-scans you messages for content and places ads
in your browser accordingly. But then advertisers probably haven't
caught up with the sorts of things we discuss! <g>

PS Funny - go the article and it splashes up an ad for Microsoft Network
