Its only the last couple of days that I found out "Vodaphone" was actually spelt as "Vodafone" and I'm still unsure with o2 if its the letter o or the number 0

Fortunately google helps thicko's like me get it right!

To be honest, I hadn't noticed that vodafone was with an 'f' and not a 'ph'. Vodafone cverage is terrible around here though, so I've never done business with them. With o2, I assume it's an o, as in the letter. o2 as in oxygen.
 
I think domain misspellings are on their way out.

I noticed this recently, maybe it's been around for ages but it's the first time I've ever seen Google actually show the correct spelling results and offer the typo as the "Search instead for".

Previously I'd only ever seen it the other way around where it showed what you typed and asked you if you really meant the correct spelling.
