Re: [CGUYS] Google: Damned if you do; damned if you don't
Normally I'd agree with you, Mike... but I think the article actually rationalized it reasonably well. It isn't to protect people from what they said... ...its to protect them (both the person and google) from what they DIDN'T say. It is admitting that: 1) Their software isn't perfect 2) That it may be used in situations where it can't really be reviewed before it is used and 3) That it may make errors in a way that are considered inappropriate. In that sense, it is an interesting solution to the problem. On Sun, Jan 24, 2010 at 10:31 AM, mike xha...@gmail.com wrote: Another case of political correctness run amok.

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=politically%20correct I think the first definition is the best. Those who are too politically correct might find it offensive.

Re: [CGUYS] Google: Damned if you do; damned if you don't
There is a simple answer to this. The software should have a preference setting. One for, ask me: did you really mean to say the f word? One for, I'm a foul mouth, don't ask.

They don't have enough confidence in the software. They want to avoid the situation where somebody said something perfectly sweet and it got translated to potty mouth.
