of course it's because i haven't typed apostrophe, but why does it change spiderman to superman? :)

because this Peter Parker's pseudonym is "Spider-man", not "Spiderman" ;) |
The problem being two-fold:
1) Superman's Shirt is an iconic thing: it carries the uber-famous "S", whereas "Spider-man's shirt" is... what? maybe a dress shirt? (peter parker) – A more apt query might be "Superman's Shirt" vs "Spider-man's costume", but even then it's skewed in superman's favor due to t-shirt sales
2) There are almost double the results for spider-man's shirt as there are for superman's shirt; not sure how that means that superman wins? |
I dont understand what this post is suppose to mean? The number of results is not a real accurate indicator of anything really. From day to day you can see totally different numbers for the same results. In no way is a good indicator of number of results for a query. |

Marty and I were not getting at the number of results, but the "Did you mean" message by Google... which changes "Spiderman" into "Superman"... |
Why not search for "Spiderman Shirt" and "Superman Shirt"
Why the possessive?
Maybe it's because there are two ways to write spiderman. Nobody calls him Super-man |
