AI Thread Summary
The discussion highlights that search results for a specific title phrase predominantly feature content related to applied mechanics and machine design, despite the user’s lack of recent searches in those fields. The user speculates that this trend may be linked to a growing interest among professionals in applied mechanics, particularly in India, where many of the top results originate. The conversation suggests that Indian academics might be utilizing traditional Victorian-era terminology, which is less common in contemporary fields such as digital IC design. This indicates a potential cultural or educational influence on the language used in academic and technical contexts.

Almost all of the first and second page results on Google for the title phrase are related to applied mechanics, e.g. machine design etc. And I don't particularly have any recent history of searching in those fields. So I am wondering if this expression has somehow become popular with people working in those areas?

A closer look at the URLs shows that a lot of them are from India. So maybe it has to do with some Indian academics often using Victorian era expressions of that sort, which have come down from venerable 19th century textbooks. And you won't obviously find that happening in modern domains like digital IC design.
 
Historian seeks recognition for first English king https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c9d07w50e15o Somewhere I have a list of Anglo-Saxon, Wessex and English kings. Well there is nothing new there. Parts of Britain experienced tribal rivalries/conflicts as well as invasions by the Romans, Vikings/Norsemen, Angles, Saxons and Jutes, then Normans, and various monarchs/emperors declared war on other monarchs/emperors. Seems that behavior has not ceased.
