A couple days ago I wrote about Hurricane Dolly, and I misspelled the word “hurricane” in the title. I left off the final “e.” I promise it was a typo. I spelled hurricane correctly the four times I used the word in the post. However, I didn’t notice that missing e in the title until I checked my sitemeter yesterday and saw hundreds of people had ended up at The Median Sib as a result of a Google search for “Hurrican Dolly.” Apparently, leaving off the final e in “hurricane” is a frequent misspelling or typo.

I corrected the typo in the title of my post, but I’m still getting hundreds of hits from other misspellers throughout the word. Site meters are fascinating.

    Maybe if we petition hard enough, The Oxford English Dictionary & Webster’s will add “hurrican” as an alternate spelling. -)
