Thank you for your comment and suggestions. We’re not blaming Google for anything, it’s just that we need to publish those seemingly incorrect subpages to gain more traffic from Google, that’s it.
Your grammar leaves much to be desired. Here is one example: Yes, and it’s on purpose – to handle cases when Google autocorrects misspelled words. “Yes. That is intentional.” is a better sentence structure. I’m not sure the intended meaning of “… to handle cases when …” is. Nor do I understand what is gained by comparing a correctly spelled word to an identical spelling of the same word and implying one spelling is incorrect. Are you blaming Google for your inability to publish a misspelled word?
