Cognitive Dictionance

There are 598,000 hits on “matzah” at Google and only 328,000 on “matzoh.” Google doesn’t recognize “matzah” as a word legitimate enough to have a dictionary link in the blue strip at the top, but it does so recognize “matzoh” (“Results 1 – 100 of about 328,000 for matzoh [definition]”).

I wonder how often that happens.

And I wonder if someone can come up with a clever name for when a variant with more Google hits isn’t recognized as a word by Google’s dictionary sources. [Tags: ]
