Love Typo’s and Cool Chariman

Dr. Eric Schmidt’s Business Card 

Fortune magazine recently pointed to a typo on Eric Schmidt’s business card; gotta admit, makes you feel a whole lot better if you see a $144 billion company muck it up.

Possible reasons for the typo’s as suggested by Fortune:

“The name “Google” actually comes from “googol” – intentional misspellings are part of Google’s culture.”

“An upside down U.S flag is a distress signal.  Similarly, a business card with two letters reversed is code for “Help, I’m in trouble.”

“It’s rumored Google has been working on a form of communication called “Googlish,” …it has it’s own grammar, vocabulary and spelling rules, such as I before R except after A.”

But, what if……

What if the word “chari” is a descendent of the word “cari” etymologically speaking?

What if “cari” means “find” in Bahasa Malaysia (Malaysia’s national language)?

What if www.cari.com.my is Malaysia’s main search engine?

It would make Mr. Schmidt is the coolest Chariman of all.
