Wait a second Jeffrey,
 
The entire membership of the ABA exists because of people's mistakes.

All,

  Well I tld you so some time ago now!  Chickens have come
home to roost, eh?  Very sad comentary vis a vis ICANN
leadership.  Oh yes, and of course Google nor the BC are
commenting...

See:https://tech.slashdot.org/story/10/02/18/1332220/Google-Makes-500m-a-Year-on-Typos
"New Scientist reports on an analysis by Harvard
researchers that 
http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn18542-typos-may-earn-google-500m-a-year.html
suggests Google rakes in half a billion dollars annually from advertising 
that appears on typosquatting domains. They estimate that 60 per cent of 
typosquatting pages use Google ads, but the advertising giant declined 
to discuss whether it should be working with such pages."
