I sent this to Fred.

I'm smilin'.

I made a guess that (and how) google would make it easy to get
definitions.  (In this case I wanted to confirm the spelling)

http://www.google.com/search?q=define:diligence&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8

----

I note that
http://www.google.com/search?q=define:dilligence&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8
doesn't say "did you mean diligence?"

I sent them feedback:


Thank you for being the best thing since bread itself, far surpassing
sliced bread.  I think you can be the best thing since *flour* by
making a tweak to your define: function, which, btw, I made a guess
would exist, given some of the other "modes" available.  Good work on
thinking of it before I did.

Sorry; here's the point: define:dilligence doesn't recognize that I've
misspelled the word.
http://www.google.com/search?q=dilligence&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8 recognizes
the misspelled word.  It would be superfly if define:dilligence said,
"do you mean diligence?"  (and takes the liberty of searching for
define:diligence since define:dilligence had no results.)

Thank you for being so awesome; may you continue to make the web useful.

Miho

The best thing about today, not including that I did 7 lessons in a row, which proves I can easily handle packing in 5 lessons at a time at Gaba, and not including hanging out with Miho from Nova for the first time in general, is what Miho said to me while we were eating ice cream at Denny's.

"I like Rob's lesson because you heard students carefully."

I was touched. completely. So much so that I couldn't bear to correct "heard" to "listened to." Oh my gosh what a blessing!!!

What a blessing.
