There must be word for this...
I was looking for a phrase using the Babylon site and entered the term "tractor" in the search box. Babylon couldn't find it and gave the following response:

"No results were found. Please check your spelling and try agian."

I assume the typo wasn't deliberate...

Maybe they think tractors live in the ocean between Turkey and Greece? Confused

How about dray or draught?

Maybe - the Greeks will surely have a word for the phenomenon demonstrated here - that whenever you write to correct another's writing, your correction will itself contain an error.

I sure couldn't find it anywhere, even in the OED.
