Some goslings:

(A nice source of daily Boston photos. Our "political" differences are too radical, however: she wants to see fewer geese in the city, and I want to see fewer pit bulls.)

young birds before fledging are known as "goslings" :-)
There are other facts about geese there that you might find interesting ;-)

that's what happens when one carelessly abuses Google as a spellchecker ;-)

thanks :-)

Hey, how do you think I found out the right spelling? Except I always add "wiki" when I am trying to spell-check ;-)

So what's the algorithm? :-)

For spell-checking? Or for specializing generics? ;-)

For spell-checking :-)

For generics also :-)

For spell-checking - told ya: try to look for a wiki reference with your spelling. Pay attention to "did you mean ..." google suggestion. If you find a wiki link, your spelling is correct ;-)

For generics also - working on it ;-) Speaking of which, talk to you later - Tuesday?

> told ya

There was no Google suggestion ;-)

Do you do ordinary Google search and visually look for the wiki links, or do you mention the wiki in your search (if yes, do you use "site:" construction, or just a keyword ("wiki"?))?

just as a keyword
