I went to renew my American Scientist subscription online, searching on
www.americanscientist/subscribe.org
which is exactly the way the URL was given on my subscription label. The following message displayed:
Sorry, the term we received "www.americanscientist" couldn't be resolved.
The first suggested correction was:
african american scientist inventors FAQ | AskKids.com
followed by
names of african american scientist FAQ | AskKids.com
(the singular is presumably a typo) and by
Who Invented The Door Bell | Bloglines Answers
Oh yeh -- that’s probably what I meant.
Strictly, though, we can’t blame the browser (the semi-evil Firefox) for this. For some reason, (the mostly evil) Verizon intervened here, unbidden, with its “helpful suggestions”. I have always found these to be utterly brain-dead.
