It seems to be a conflation of casus belli and causa belli, both of which are correct, each in its own way.
Causa belli gets only 725 on the Googlometer, but don't tell Juan.

Well, although I think we've worked out that the likelihood of "google" the verb being included in the OED any time soon is pretty remote, it all kind of begs the question about the continued usage of the word with or without OED sanction. As if the language ever hung around waiting for it. Nearly everyone I know who uses the web talks about "googling" things, even when they're using Yahoo! or one of the other search engines. Even 'er indoors. The fact is, however, that the googlification of the web is not a science and no one (apart from a few hardened sandal-and-beard wearing nerds at Stanford, of course) is trying to turn what is basically just a tool, albeit a very useful one, into a science. So Googlology is a study without students or professors or much of a literature, and is therefore redundant. Don't you like "googlification" as a noun? I do! - Pfranz

Don't you like "googlification" as a noun? Ok, but. Is it pronounced goog-lification, or, more true to the sound of the name, google-ification? If it's the latter, yes, I love it. Google-ification! Google-ification! It can make a wonderful Fantasy vacation! (No applause please, just throw money!)

In reply to:
60,000 use hubbub and close to 6,000 use hub-bub...those are the clear facts, the reality...
Actually no. Perhaps those using hub-bub (or indeed hubbub) are more prolific writers, thus artificially boosting their score. Hits = websites not people.

Cross-threading with Jackie, if we name this new democratic process after tsuwm, then we can atsuwm the results are correct and to accept the lower number of hits would be to make a false atsuwmption. Anything could be decided this way, even elections, so instead of an expensively elected prime minister we could have the atsuwmption of Tony Blair.

Mmmm. Astsuwming you're right, then we should also use an s before the t in astsuwm. That's OK. Its estsewntial to get it right.
