	I meant "in formal writing within the US".

	How many of those hits are "formal writing" (e.g. official reports,
newspapers, etc)?

	Of those, how many originate from within the US?

	You of all people know that Google searches are a poor indicator -
beyond proving an existence theorem. All it takes is about 5 or so
instances that become popular and reproduced all over.

	Having said that, I'll grant that perhaps I overstated it.<G>
