Graging-grazing

Etymology:typo(Grazing)

Author:Typos don't have authors

Usage:Cows are graging on the field.

Date of creation:Typos are not created

Opposition:None to date

History:Gave 904 google hits as on January 8 2006. (Not a criteria).You have to hear the pronunciation to believe it. Since this heavy influence of accent may have been the reason for creation of many languages as we know them today, it is noteworthy. Not that spelling mistakes should be supported, but who cares as long as you get the meaning. Eventually this word may replace the other. And to differentiate it from a typo--Z and G are not a result of typing mistakes. The google did you mean suggests Grading instead, which is a more likely typo!!They should start showing multiple did you mean words.
