Included among these are a tendency to skew results toward shopping, a lack of diversity for searches containing synonyms and its impact on research."

    Thank you for so promptly signing, dating and returning the NR-7872 form, colloquially known as the "I want to prove I didn't read the article" form.

    There will be a 2 day wait while your application is processed, at the end of which we shall send you a certificate which legally proves you don't have a clue what you're talking about, should anyone erroneously claim otherwise.
