OK, I guess what we do is applied Googlology, a very specific sub-field of Googlology where we use Google's numerical results to prove a point. I don't really like the extra l, though. Don't we have a long history in the English language of doing away with letters we don't like the sound of? And I don't think we can name it after tsuwm because he's wasn't the first to use Google hits as an argument. Was he?

Problem's not with leaving out the "extra" l; it's that pesky o between it and the g. Makes it look like it's about googol and not GoogleŽ.
How about Googlemetrics?

Oh, okay, Faldo...form you I'll take a half-capitulation as a victory (Debate 101). Glad you came around to see it my way!  And, besides, "Tomorrow Belongs To Me!"

juan was just alluding to this weeks wwftd theme wherein I've been using googlemetrics to prove my point that certain expressions are much maligned. I see now that I could have included hubbub's recherche alternative.

And could we call the amount of hits the word form gets it's Googleocity? (Googolocity? Googlocity? None of the three look right.  ) i.e.: What's the Googleocity of hub-bub?

I was editing a piece by a college professor. English professor, at that. He used the term causus belli [sic]. I was curious to see if this was a common mistake, so I googled it.
causus belli - 968 hits.
casus belli - 27,600 hits.
