很久以前有北京人在纽约， 上海人在东京这种词组， 说的是中国人在异乡奋斗的故事， 而这完全是另外一个故事。 有一个个电影叫“血钻”， 背景大概是塞拉利昂内战双方为了杀戮， 怎么占住钻矿卖钻石换武器， 然后杀戮然后激起对手更大的仇恨所以也做同样事情的故事。 当然是来自现实生活中的真事， 不过不仅仅限于钻石， 石油也有和钻石同样的功效。 最近一个叫Dafur的地方总是在新闻上被提起， 都说那里出现了种族清洗的暴行， 这里有个视频讲述当地的暴行还有当地人的悲惨生活。 看新闻好久才弄清楚大概的状况， 这里大概从七十年代开始就有复杂的冲突。 当地的阿拉伯人和其他信基督教和原始崇拜的非洲部落（其实脱掉了衣服大家都是黑人兄弟）为了争夺水草资源干起来了， 现在的政府是占多数的阿拉伯兄弟的， 干起仗来优势就比较大。 非洲的其他很多地方其实都有这种部落仇杀， 这个地方变得严重起来， 主要还是因为石油。 大概的意思和钻石差不多， 政府占了油田， 其实没有钱来开采， 外国的公司就来帮忙开采， 政府当然就用石油换武器， 支持Dafur当地的阿拉伯武装， 将其他的黑兄弟赶尽杀绝。 两边的武力值相差太大， 自然是一阵屠杀腥风血雨， 大概400万人都受到影响， 逃到了苏丹和乍得的边境。 在一个油田服务公司就职， 就有前辈在苏丹工作， 签名档是“我在苏丹为祖国贡献石油”。 开始比较奇怪， 后来知道那里有很多中石油的油井， 公司在苏丹的客户都是中国人， 挖的油通过输油管道运到红海的边上， 然后用暴大的运油船从红海中出来， 经过印度洋，马六甲海峡，到太平洋直到祖国， 再到工厂和每个人的汽车里。 这里有个04年底华盛顿邮报的文章China Invests Heavily In Sudan’s Oil Industry， 可以看出中国石油公司在苏丹的历史。 说的是中国人现在到处找啊找啊找石油， 就找到了外国人势力还没有到达的而且油还多的苏丹了。 中国人在全世界最大的石油投资就是在苏丹了， 从苏丹弄到的油也很多， 大概占中国的消费的百分之十吧。 而苏丹政府和中国做贸易， 还能从中国买到武器， [...]

English spelling is far from being phonetic -- and commonly-used proper nouns make the problem even more complex. Often the final arbiter is "it looks correct." Try writing "success" with one trailing "s" and you'll see what I mean.

This final aspect of spelling -- it "looks wrong" -- can be a serious challenge when one cannot see. I can spell well in English, and for regular English text, there are always dictionaries and spell-checkers that come to one's aid. But spelling commonly-used proper nouns that you've only heard others pronounce can still pose a challenge when writing them for the first time. Consider the following:

• We're going on a skiing holiday to Taho.
• I was in Rino last week.
• My friend lives in San Luis Obispoe.

Notice that the proper nouns in the above all contain spelling errors, and the respective Google search triggers a "did you mean" spelling suggestion as follows:

• Did you mean: Tahoe
• Did you mean: Reno
• Did you mean: san luis obispo

Over the years, I've come to find this an indispensible tool, especially in cases where there is general agreement on the web as to the correct spelling. And for the record, intelligence on the Web appears to believe that San Luis Obispo can also be spelt San Louis Obispo.

Google's spell-checking intelligence comes from examining all the documents on the web. Thus, correct spellings often dominate incorrect ones. The example of San Luis Obispo is interesting; if you take the Web as representing current accepted practice, it would appear that people do write that proper noun both ways -- i.e., Luis or Louis.

Who knows, perhaps we'll restore the o-u parity by adopting an extra "o" in Luis for the "u" that got dropped in "color."
