A metric by which the optimal language is AmbidextrousScallywag

Seems like search engines are smart enough to distinguish them.

I can't tell if you're joking, all of the results except the top one show "Shell oil" results for me. Not hard to imagine that this impacts searchability if you're looking for something specific.

Yes, but the first result for this one is oil shell, whereas if I search the other way around it isn’t even on page 1.

Heck, sometimes I search for oil shell when I’m looking for shell oil. I wouldn’t even want a search engine to know about order.

I wonder if people will end up googling it as oillang (or even oilang), similar to what happened with golang.

Let's hope so, because 'oil language' is also going to be problematic: https://www.google.com/search?q=oil+language https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Langues_d%27o%C3%AFl . I came here half-expecting an article about medieval French.

Wouldn’t it be oillang?
