Google is the result of a spelling error
No one can deny the important role of Google search engine in modern life today. However, the word ' Google ' is actually a spelling error that is originally " Googol ", ie 10 ^ 100. At that time, Google founders were looking for a name for their company, and one suggested the name " Googolplex ". Larry Page - one of Google's two co-founders did not like the name and offered to use only the name " Googol ". However, when registering the domain name " googol.com ", people mistakenly typed it into " google.com ". And the name ' Google ' has been born since then.
Jesus' name is mis-written on the medal issued by the Vatican.
In October 2013, people in the Vatican who had typos made it difficult to accept. To welcome Pope Francis to the throne, they released a medal, but the word " Jesus " on it was written as " Lesvs ". This is a great shame for the holy court. The medals are quickly recovered for destruction, but there are still many that are kept by collectors. The raw medals become more rare, making them extremely valuable. Until now, people still could not understand why the Vatican people could make this mistake.
Error in Newton's Principia
Pricipia is Newton's most famous work, the work that underpins every knowledge we understand about gravity and the laws of motion today. The impact of this book with science is so great that it has been studied by many scientists for centuries. With such a large number of followers, it was surprising that there was an error in the book that no one found out.
In the book Newton gave the wrong number to the equation and received the result 11 instead of 10.5 a huge deviation in the mathematical world. The more incredible thing is that this error was discovered by a student, rather than the experts who have read and studied this book. This student earned an A + grade for his discovery.
Spelling errors in Koran prints
Like the Bible, Koran errors are very serious. Although few historical records have been recorded, these errors have occurred and caused many consequences. One of the people who made the mistake was Ahmad al-Kulaib , who oversaw the printing of the Koran print for the whole of Kuwait . During the time of al-Kulaib's work, the Koran texts were about to misread many passages. As Minister of Islamic Affairs, this is a political disaster with al-Kulaib. Less than a week later, King Jaber al-Ahmad al-Sabah dispersed the entire parliament to punish the mistake.
The great poet Shakespeare could not spell his name
William Shakespeare 's name is associated with literature and English language. He is also considered one of the greatest and most influential writers in history. But it was surprising that he could not spell his full name. In Shakespeare 's time, the spelling rules are far different now. However, it cannot change the fact that one of the most famous writers of all time cannot write his name correctly.
Of Shakespeare 's six surviving signature samples, he used many different spellings, making it impossible to know which name is correct. His signatures include: Shaksper, Shakspere, Shakspeare. Shakespeare's words are so bad that, up to now, the way of writing his name is still a controversial topic.
