isn't it ironic

Spending twenty minutes searching Amazon in vain for a particular book, trying quick searches, advanced searches, every combination of the words "Understanding Cultural Globalisation, P. Hopper, 2007" that can possibly exist, scrolling through page after page of vaguely related results, finally admitting defeat and accepting that they just don't have the damn thing....

...Before realising that despite the inexorable march of American culture across the globe, despite McDonalds and Starbucks appearing in every continent of the earth, despite it all, we Brits still spell globalisation with an S, not a Z. And that bloody book was right there all along.
