Yesterday was the anniversary of the 19th Amendment's ratification
In case anyone is wondering why that’s #1.
Also, don't hate on Google users
Maybe they were looking for this guy.
I'm assuming that Google automatically lowercases their search terms to provide consistency.
If not, that too is sad. To their credit, at least Googlers know how to spell Brett Favre.
Hmm, good point. I guess it's not that sad.
Although I would think that some would capitalize proper nouns just out of habit, so I still hold my previous assumption.
The amusing part, to me, is that your own name is not capitalized.
I am going to come into your house at night and rec up the place.
I had to compensate for the fact that it's all caps in my picture.
(Not really, I just, for whatever reason, think that a user name that ends in numbers looks silly capitalized. Without the 81, it would be capitalized.)

and theorize that its because Google covers so many more people… You’re casting a wider net to find the “low” in “lowest common denominator”!

In the Twitter search, it’s “Derrek.” In the Google search, it’s “Derek.” Jeff is just neurotic enough to give a shit.
Oh, and the Lookout Landing favicon looks like field goal goalposts. Just sayin’.
Super late on this
But I think the preponderance of RTs on Twitter drives correct spelling. Assuming ESPN spells the name correctly.
I figured, but that takes all the fun out of it
Damn you McDonald >:(
