I wonder what number would come up if we were to type "Clive AND PC-Pals" (without the quotes) into Google?

Several million perhaps?

Sadly, I tried it and one of the results was very strange:

almost anything at xaosearch.com
... PC Pals Forum - Solve your PC problems for free and have fun too! ... 1.. (Almost) Anything
goes / General Discussion / Clive's.....There are 225 spaces on a ...
xaosearch.com/almost_anything.html - 16k - Supplemental Result - Cached - Similar pages

I've seen hijacked webpages before but why would anyone bother to hijack that?   :)

A company called Skype (pronounced to rhyme with tripe) is quickly becoming the Microsoft of internet telephony...

I've been pronouncing it Sky-pee!  :lol:

OK so is it Lyenux or Linnux?  I have always presumed the former but I heard someone use the latter pronunciation.

I have always assumed Lyenux.

Another funny one, in the Harry Potter books, I always read the girls name 'Hermione', as 'Her-me-own'.  It was only when I saw the film, I realised it was 'Her-myon-ee'.   :blush:  :laugh:  :laugh:
