Fank A Teachre

I know that the Brits spell weird, but I suspect that this Blogpatrol/Google search is something else entirely.

So how did this search hit my blog? Because of my quote from a Storymania essay:

---

On my bus ride to school every day, my constant laughing used to irritate some of the other kids. When they asked why I was laughing, I point to my CD player and say, “I’m listening to Weird Al.” Their faces light up in recognition and their next questions are, “hey can I see that,” and, “wow, let me listen!” Weird Al is so funny and cool, and almost everybody likes him. I think he would make a great school teachre for several reasons....

---

Well, guess what...Al was a teacher:

---

Did Al ever have any "real" jobs before he got famous?

In high school Al was a part-time accordion teacher and occasional accordion repo-man (don't ask). After graduating from college, Al decided that architecture was not for him, so he worked for a few years in the mailroom and later at a desk job for a large radio syndication company in Culver City, California.

Perhaps I should start using this misspelling intentionally:

---

OK, let's try it. Let me think of some common topics of interest on this site:

And of course we can't forget dot dot, doto doto, and odot odot.

In actuality, searchspell suggests that the misspellings be embedded in the web page as meta tags (e.g., by enclosing META NAME="keywords" CONTENT="dot, doto, doot, odot" in angle brackets). We'll see how effective this is, although I don't know what types of traffic I want to drive here. Perhaps I want to attract former members of 1nterex, or imterex, or interxe, or inteerx, or intreex, or inetrex, or itnerex, or niterex, or intere, or interx, or inteex, or intrex, or inerex, or iterex, or nterex.

(Incidentally, should this thingie really work and you end up on this blog post due to a misspelling, simply type the correct spelling of the word in the Blogger search text box in the upper left corner. This will provide you with a list of pages in this blog where I actually used the real word in question.)
