This is the larger problem... Google thinks it's making our search easier by force feeding us what we obviously don't want.

It interprets what it thinks I meant instead of listening to the actual words that came out of my mouth.

I have the same problem with my wife... :-)

You're right; right on multiple levels...heh

Language is used to convey meaning. The difference between my wife and Google is that Google tries to interpret language in the lowest common denominator which leaves all people who try to use language properly feeling like they need to learn a new one just to be understood by their search engine.

...maybe that's not so different.
