If someone could insure me against illiterate webnumpties confusing “insure” and “ensure” then I’d be a happier man. Even Temple Grandin does it, though, which seems disappointing: Rainman had such good attention to detail, after all.

Very true – I confess I couldn’t be arsed to check whether these petered out at 179, but knowing Google they probably do!

In order to show you the most relevant results, we have omitted some entries very similar to the 179 already displayed. If you like, you can repeat the search with the omitted results included.

No, ta – I’ll give those 2.7 million spam blogs a miss, thanks.

To be fair, Google is always hopelessly optimistic. Our newly recruited researchers are always depressed to see 23,000 hits come up on their subject, and ask how to narrow down the search. They’re truly shocked to discover that – if you click forwards to see the last results – Google will often concede it can only find around 179.
