"Haas avocado" = 12,600 hits on Google
"Hass avocado" = 50,500 hits on Google

And just for fun . . .

"Haas avacado" = 534 hits on Google
"Hass avacado" = 285 hits on Google

Note the inversion of the scores when
a delibrate misspelling is introduced.

And for even more fun . . .

"mis-spelling" = 133,000 hits on Google
"misspelling" = 2,820,000 hits on Google
"mispelling" = 185,000 hits on Google

And just to top it all off . . .

"incompetant" = 245,000 hits on Google

Time to call it a day. :-)
