Sadly, some index engines are incluing grammatically correct pages
that are not really pages. For example, use the Alta Vista engine and
look for "posix". You will get "hundreds" of perl, Tcl/Tk or other
scripts that include "posix.pl" or similar. These scripts are
syntactically correct but are not what I was expecting to see. The
grammar checker, in case, has verified that the content is okay but I
would contend that the page should have been excluded from
consideration.
