qroqqa commented on the word compliancy
How can there be 125 000 000 ghits for a word I've never heard of??
(Oh, I see, there's the same number for 'compliance', and no combination of pluses and quotes will separate them. Google is now officially useless.)
To put this in a real-world context, the BNC has 1292 instances of 'compliance' and none at all for 'compliancy'; so my ignorance is forgivable.

Qroqqa, you need to search for "+compliancy -compliance". The minus sign fixes the problem, showing 765,000 ghits; the plus sign strips out about 6000 more.
