You see it all the time though - it is either implemented that way from the outset, or when setup with a proper POST then someone in testing files a feature request or bug that says "when I bookmark the search page or email the link the search results reset - we need to be able to link to a results page" and wa-la.
It suggests that this data was surfaced accidentally and DoubleClick may not have been interpreting the actual parameters. Either way, it is horrible - there shouldn't be any ad networks or third-party requests within a domain scope that is handling health data.
It's just an observation that this switcheroo of Wallah/Voilà seems regional to that area of the world - would you say that's not true? No insult intended.
Other seemingly American conventions include saying: 'would of', 'could of', 'for all intensive purposes', 'I could care less', and plenty more. I travel to the US a couple times every month and notice things like this!
The implied insult is that this region is the only region where people are dumb enough to misspell these words.
All of your examples are examples of words and phrases that people have primarily heard (rather than read), and thus they spell them incorrectly. People who have read these phrases repeatedly are less like to make these mistakes of spelling.

Voilà = Literally 'See' + 'There' in French
Only Americans seem to confuse these two words.
I'm not American, but kudos on the bigotry.
Incase you didn't notice, I wasn't spelling any word - just phonetic punctuation which is common in online chat.
Downvote for the insult. I would have corrected him as well, but this was unnecessary:
