google show off their spelling corrector by showing the number of different searches performed that map back to britney spears. to me britney’s name looks misspelt to start with and many of these are clearly common or garden typos.

what’s interesting though is that no one appears to have misspelt her surname. there are 1120 pages in google that refer to britney speers and the spelling corrector catches it just fine. so people writing pages about the singer can’t spell her surname but everyone searching for her can?
