I think none mentioned here the fact that prolog and prologue are two different words.

Prolog is a made up word, an abbreviation for "programmation en logique". Prologue means the introductory part.

So why the confusion? I believe prolog is an excellent name for a logic PL and prologue is too for a web framework. Why change it?

Also it's not the first time I get garbage results from google's fuzzy matching, happens with other words too. Arguably it's annoying and should be improved instead.
