Ow Come On Google! Get your prying eyes out of the gutter! - etoven - 7th October 2012

Bad Google!

I typed wherehouse just now and Google spell check suggested whorehouse. :)
That's a bad Google! Go to your room and think about what you did! :)

Wherehouse? Therehouse!

Well, in this case you can't blame Google. You misspelled the word and the spell check did it's very best to guess at an actual word. What you are looking for is "warehouse". Where is asking about something's location. Ware is a product or commodity. Were is transforming into a monster by moonlight. I guess what I'm saying is beware the wild werehouses on a full moon.

Thanks for dicking up my thread.. :) Just kidding..

So your saying Google saw this:
[ATTACHMENT NOT FOUND]

And content aware spell check looked threw my history, and deduced I wanted to stick my wiener in some dirty crotch pheasant in exchange for large sums of cash.
Makes perfect logical sense to me.

Given that google attempts to find you a match based on what it knows about you, I'd say this says more about you.

Google probably knows you're bad at spelling so you'd think that it would simply fill in "warehouse".

But given your questionable search history, it thought a more relevant match would be "whorehouse".

What aren't you telling us, toven?! You're the one who needs to go to your room! Go join google in there!

Wait, no, don't, get back here!
