A quick check of Bing and DuckDuckGo don't turn anything up either. Looks like more right wing lunacy.

All I have is Snopes and what they say Google Translate used to translate, once. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/covfefe-arabic-antediluvian/ … The claim, remember, isn't what the nonsense word *REALLY* means... it's about whether Google did something related to the nonsense word as it showed up in Google Translate.

Oh, yes. Indeed, the Snopes article mentions that. Does that mean that the Google memos do not exist? Because I thought it was interesting because the Google memos. Not because I think that covfefe should actually be a word.

Well when the first thing you lead with on you're breaking new scandal thing turns out to be complete utter bullshit it makes me doubt items 2-396 are true as well

So I should not believe that these memos exist? Is that my takeaway?

Indeed I am. But this strikes me as a fairly straightforward question: Are the memos contained in the Google Memo leak actually memos that were once circulated at Google?

consider it this way if the New York times had an expose of the NRA and their first item in the expose was total bullshit wouldn't you think maybe the rest of the times reporting is bullshit? I mean you're supposed to put your best foot forward, not trip over it

I think that arguing "that memo doesn't exist" at least argues against the point. Arguing that the memo contains B.S. is a different argument. Is the argument that, since the memo contains B.S., it must not be authentic? Because that, at least, makes sense to me.

What exactly is the argument? Google translate used to mistranslate ‘covfefe’ and google changed that once it became a thing. How is that 1984? It only means anything if covfefe was ever a legitimate translation of that phrase. Show me that and you got something

My argument is that if these memos exist then they indicate some amount of shenanigans going on at Google HQ. It's not merely that they stopped incorrectly translating a nonsense word as a phrase that makes sense, it's that they deliberately Easter Egged it.

Of course, if the memos are fake, all this is moot.
