I take that to mean that I didn't make it clear just *how* that makes this
point moot. :-)

If you search Google for the term "affadavid" (i.e. misspelled), you'll get
a link to the correct spelling that says "Did you mean: affidavit."

In other words, Google corrects misspelled search terms for us, so as web
authors we don't need to worry about that.
