Seems like an excellent opportunity to apply Hanlon's Razor.

"Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity."

They've been doing it for two years at minimum:

Two years and three domains with the typo? It's malice.

This malice metric is confusing. How malacious is Google then? They misspelled "googol" for over two decades, but there's only one domain. Do we count the 1e100.net as a misspelling?
