I was searching Google this morning - I’m trying to find a list of cell phones/mobile devices and their javascript capabilities - and noticed this interesting paid ad by Verizon.

In the trenches of everyday work, it’s understandable to make a mistake here and there, but if you’re paying for an ad, you should make it a habit to check the display of that ad before you submit it.

I’m also curious about why Google can’t figure out what the user meant, considering there is just an extra space in the formula. I would assume this is a fairly common mistake.
