The rset can be a toatl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae we do not raed ervey lteter by it slef but the wrod as a wlohe. ceehiro."

The keyword goggle is a very common misspelling for google, the world's greatest and most famous search engine. The misspelling is based on a misspeaking resp. mishearing of the original word. Google descends from googol, which is 10 to the 100th power (which is the figure 1 followed by 100 zeros).
