Have you ever the experience of searching a site with a misspelling in its name due to a slip of the pen and accidentally discovering a new site? If yes, was there any special reaction from your end?

No, I didn't.
I never trust other site which I found just because of my miss spelling.
Those site can be a high risk site too.
For instance, I received many emails asked for my bank account verification.
The name of the website was purposely miss spelled.
The correct website name as meebank (example only) had been purposely misspelled to mebank(example only).
As last, many of the existing bank customers were trapped.
The fraud website had collected all of their login information and withdrew part of their money from their existing bank's accounts.
As such, please do not trust any miss spelled websites.

The search engines I use are good about this, a statement will popup saying do you mean---- which is usually the correct spelling. Bailed out again. Thanks

Yes, I actually do that all time simply because I miss type words and normally they are incorrect spelling so I would get to sites I would not want.Sometimes this happens in my posts too here in my lot and I feel so bad about this thing. May I am ruching because of time, time is equal to money.
