usually refers to working for somebody else, such as the King, or the lord of the manor (a bit like Upstairs Downstairs), but then you wouldn't expect to find the word "put" there.
As for ghits, if you enter a word containing an intentional spelling mistake, you might be astonished at how many ghits it nevertheless produces. Also, they don't take punctuation into account, which can throw up millions of totally irrelevant hits. Which is why I don't rely too heavily on ghit counts - although they can be a little reassuring where all else has failed! |
