Right, they'll find "Foobar2000", but they won't find the mythical
product that was recommended to them, "fubar2000".


Nice try, but you don't convince me. Maybe I'm just not as stupid as
your putative "they"...

Now, suppose you wanted an app for your mobile device so you could hook
up with the nearest women who's husbands neglect them by playing on
their computers all day. Due to my mis-spelling, you might buy
"Microsoft Windows" rather than "Microsoft Widows". You would be very
disappointed.


In the context where you wrote it, I don't understand the word "who's".
It's as weird as, say, fubar2000. Could you explain it to someone as
stupid as I?
