As I said Google does some very odd things. The "answers" change if you ask the same query enough times. The answers change if you ask from a different place. The answers change if you ask from a different browser. (There was another case of this on another board and there was some coordinated international experimenting done to show it.)
There was some evidence that over a certain threshold of "popularity" that misspellings and alternate forms may be counted even if you try to exclude them, but no one volunteered to page through half a million hits to verify them all. ;-)
