Actually, Google autocorrected those 2 words for me just now when I searched, so they can do it the other direction as well. What I find mildly interesting is that Google is learning all the acronyms too and has all the correct full words highlighted when I search. Seems there's no way to win.

Amex must love it when I shop there on the card too, because they keep calling me and leaving messages. I'm guessing they just want to tell me how much they are enjoying the swipe fees.

This reminds me of the old Google site that searched in reverse... I can't think of the name of it though. Was it elgoog.com? It was what the Chinese citezens were using to visit blocked web pages back in the early 2000's.

Anyway...back to reading about SAR's. If only I knew someone who works for Chrohgher.

Start your reading with CTL and CTR. If you are unfortunate enough to end up on a SAR you will never know about it and it certainly won't be from a grocery store incident.

I guess I'll see you in the federal pen.
Sure thing, Dick Tracy. Just don't get stopped for speeding on the interstate.

Correct. I have tried with multiple cashiers. It is that kr0ger's policy now. I even pointed out that I was using a Sun+rust (deIta) card with my name on it. They have a sun+rust branch in the store even.

It does not -- at least not in code that you copied from others. Try googling 5u5p3c7 for example.

And yes, capitalizing a letter in the middle of the word gets Google every time! ⒻⒶⒾⓁ
