Have you ever noticed how many people say "money is no option" instead
of "money is no object"?
No. This is the first time I ever heard of it. You hang with the wrong
crowd.

A huge crowd: 34,000 google hits!

One illiterate and 33,999 plagiarists. The ever-popular-on-AUE Google
count is most useful for telling us how many lazy thieves have websites.

The truth, I suspect, lies somewhere between these two extremes...the corpus
includes the semi-deaf who mishear the correct expression, those who hear it
right the first time but can't quite remember how it goes, the EFL students who
string together parts of tangentially-related aphorisms at random, the scholars
who bring the misutterance to the attention of their selected fora, and the
composers of text designed to bypass spam filters....

As regards Google, all are equal in His sight....r
