Users usually find it really annoying to have to say they are sure when deleting an item, for instance. Some authors argue that we can totally remove this confirmation dialog and let the user ctrl+z if a mistake is done.

Google was once again smart enough to recognize that people may type one less “o” or a few extra ones. But a few of the gooooogle URLs were already taken. Check it out:
- www.gogle.com (one less “o” takes you to Google’s page)
- www.google.com (the right one)
- www.gooogle.com (one extra “o” also takes you to Google’s page)
- www.goooogle.com (2 extra “o”s does not!)
- www.gooooogle.com (3 extra “o”s takes you back to Google)
- www.goooooogle.com (4 extra “o”s does not!)
- www.gooooooogle.com (5 extra “o”s. now check out this one. Is this Google or Gooooooogle? The result takes you to Google search results, so I guess they own this one as well)
- www.goooooooogle.com (This page actually says: That’s eight O’s, 2 g’s and a “le”, hehehe)
- www.gooooooooogle.com (NOT google)
- www.goooooooooogle.com (This one says “It works!” hahaha)
Ok, I guess that’s enough.
You get the point
