Now if you put something that shows it is a grocery store in the title or somehow connected it with Giant Eagle, then you could pull off GE, but there is NOTHING! GE intends to open. That clearly means General Electric and everyone read it that way. You admitted it and ask the mods to change the title, but then you started calling people names and so-on. Class!
Yet...Google picked it right up, but Pittsburghers couldn't.....I'm almost embarrassed to call myself a 'burgher.

I guess next time the Steelers and Bears play each other, the networks should use 'PIT' and 'ORD' as the city abbreviations.

Um, here how searches work. You enter a few words and the pertinent news articles would show up. Since there isn't a branch or anything of General Electric opening up, it spit out Giant Eagle. In other words what you are showing means nothing. Everyone misread your mess. Just own up to it and move on for goodness sake. Aren't you embarrassed enough? Just wow!

This is getting funny. I am waiting for the op to type in the title of the thread and then use google results of this thread to show they were right.

Nope actually I feel vindicated even more now... You however should be extremely embarrassed by the statement you just made in Context to OP title. Remember I made this statement.

I guess some people are smart enough to figure it out, others not so much. Again I'll be sure to spell it out for the slow ones next time.
Thanks for backing me up Curtis.. Me and Google seem to think alike.
