I'm not so "thankful" to Google or Judge Chin as you, since you seem to be arguing that "if you're big enough to do whatever you feel like, do it!!!"

Just another example of the "taking economy" that seems so popular these days among the short-sighted.

this must truly be for the public good. I doubt Google can profit off the data from millions of books of well-written, gramatically correct writers of the english language.
