    "Sanctimonious sanctimonius" works

    "sanctimonious gullible fools" works too

    but
    sanctimonious on it's own does not
    gullible on it's own does not.

    Something like this has happened a few times with certain specific phrases. OP isn't mad.

    Not quite sure why it happens - maybe a search goes awry due to a connection error, then the 'bad result' gets cached which is accessed each time you try to redo the search using the same parameter.

    I know why it does it now,
    Sanctimonious
    Santimonio
    Pretty
    Gullible

    and a few other single words

    Will trigger google to list a dictionary reference at the top of the page with a sound file icon.

    Other words will not do this such as

    Sanctimonia
    Treatise

    and many more.

    Obviously the dictionary ref & attached sound file icon are not accepted on my computer for some reason, but the error message is a strange one, rather than me getting a system error on my computer, "google" is the one who returns the server error shown in post #8

    I noticed this because I am now on a different computer.
