It seems the last sentence should read, "ANSWERS to any questions you may have can be found here."

The sentence, "The term Google is a misspelling of the word Googol which is a huge number 1 followed by 100 zeroes" needs either rewording or better punctuation. It sounds as if the first digit is written in a much larger font size than the 100 zeroes that follow. A googol is a huge number; a 1 followed by 100 zeroes.

I first heard about a wonderful new search engine on the radio. I spent days looking for googol, I didn’t realise it was misspelt! A black mark to anyone who suggests I should have googled it 😂

Only picked that date because 4 people I’m/or was close to have September 4th birthdays. Silly reason, but it was correct. Sometimes luck is enough

Actually, a googol is an ordinary sized 1 followed by 100 zeros.

Chriss Crockford, how did we manage before pre-industrial revolution?

Chriss Crockford, The same way everyone managed without a phone before Bell came along or radio came along, before long things will change again and someone will be saying the same thing, 'However did we manage without it' everything just goes round and round. lol
