Sneek peek?
I came across a reference to a "sneak peak" today, and remembered that I'd seen this misspelling of "sneak peek" before. I was curious as to how widespead it was and entered both into Google. To my surprise, "sneak peek" returned about 738,000 hits, and "sneak peak" about 383,000. In other words, it is spelled wrongly on the Web roughly one third of the time! Red Face

BTW, even "sneek peek" got about 35,500 hits!

What's that called again when misspelled words are in Google? I think jheem had talked about that on his Blog once.

I remember awhile ago when I was so naïf Wink that I used to think of Google as a dictionary. I'd look up words or quotes there, and when I'd find them, just as I had written them, I was sure that I had them right. Roll Eyes I soon learned, though!
