Fal: I was being a bit facetious but your analysis is more realistic and, well, interesting

About neglecting th needs of th hoi polloi (me): You have hit th nail on th head with this one. Google, for instance, is slow to improve because it's th leader and doesn't really need to. For instance Googling "percent" yields a widely different set of hits than "per-cent" possibly necessitating two separate searches

Incidentally and by coincidence Bill/Mac don't recognize "the" as a possible spelling for "th"
