Google is mispelled

[Chuckt]

Google – accidental misspelling of googol.[11] According to Google's vice president, as quoted on a BBC The Money Programme documentary, January 2006, the founders – noted for their poor spelling – registered Google as a trademark and web address before someone pointed out that it was not correct.

Not to be confused with Google.
A googol is the large number 10100; that is, the digit 1 followed by 100 zeroes:
10,*000,*000,*000,*000,*000,*000,*000,*000,*000,*000,*000,*000,*000,*000,*000,*000,*000,*000,*000,*000,*000,*000,*000,*000,*000,*000,*000,*000,*000,*000,*000,*000,*000.

A googolplex is a the number 1 followed by a googol of zeros. As opposed to a gaggle of zeros. Like at Pear Harbor.

Google's always bin misspelt.

I always thought it was intentional so they could coin their own word. My dad the math maven pointed that out the minute I first showed him the site.

I started using Google way back when there was competition -- altavista, Lycos, AskJeeves... I could see Google did the best job and hyped it to everybody.
That's right, I made them what they are today. I shoulda put my money where my mouth was.
