Bob in Houston sends this link to Common Errors in English which helps with common questions such as whether the word "hearty" or "hardy" is more appropriate for the situation.
The owners of that website would prefer that you go to the cover page first to help move their site up in the Google ranking. So there it is.
This has nothing to do with the actual subject of your post, but simply visiting the home page of this site won't do anything to help it with the Google search result ranking. However, your linking to it WILL help achieve that goal. Google looks at the number of "quality links" to a webpage (among other things...but hit count is not among them, AFAIK) to determine its ranking.
I return you to your regularly scheduled programming. :)

Thanks for that clarification, Eric. While on the subject of Google, last November the Google search page said "Searching 3,307,998,701 web pages." And, as Eric pointed out then, that was just a fraction of the actual web pages out there. Today, the number Google displays is 4,285,199,774.
