Google = Googol or Googel?

I feel so apathetic for doing this. Not pathetic.  Here we are again on misspelling time! I have here three interesting words that yield to Google.

Googol. If you accidentally type in this because of whatever reason, this is actually exist in vocabulary. Googol is the number 10 raised to the power of 100. That lots of zeros!

Googel. This is another interesting misspelled word. An honest mistake, I should say. I tried to type in http://www.googel.com/ and this directed me to http://www.google.com.sg/ .

Google. This is like the most used, most uttered, great niche and I don’t think there’s anyone who doesn’t know Google. A little information about Google – Google Inc, is an American company that focuses on Internet search. Google was founded by Larry Page and Sergey Brin while students at Stanford University. It started in 1998. That’s why when internet was created prior to that, I remember that my friends bought a booklet of list of websites that can help us search on topics on our thesis. Hmmmp. Thanks to these guys for making our life easier – and their life richer!

According to Wikipedia etymology, the name “Google” originated from a misspelling of the word “googol”, which refers to 10100, the number represented by a 1 followed by one hundred zeros. Having found its way increasingly into everyday language, the verb “google” was added to the Merriam Webster Collegiate Dictionary and the Oxford English Dictionary in 2006, meaning “to use the Google search engine to obtain information on the Internet.

Well, misspelled or not. I must say I really need Google to gain traffic. Can you think of any misspelled word?
