My browser's start page is this:
http://www.google.no/firefox?client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official

it contains a form that searches Google, and as you fill inn your search, it suggests search terms and displays the number of hits for each query.
Now, why is it that

Syntax gets 19,300,000 hits
Grammar gets 12,900,000 hits
Linguistics gets 7,590,000 hits
Semantics gets 6,780,000 hits
Orthography gets 350,000 hits

but Pronunciation gets none??? ~D

No wonder I sound like the Swedish Chef :embarassed:

Weird, I searched google and it got 5,000,000 or something.

I get millions of hits once I execute the search, yes.
It's just the preview/intellisense function that has a zealous decency-filtering thingy, so anything beginning with "pron" is considered nasty.
If for some unfathomable reason I'd like to search for a "naked chef", I 'd run into the same issue.
