Fred came around eventually while at JHU.

And now that I think of it, that quote was certainly much earlier than 1998 because we were talking about that at the 1996 workshop. Didn’t he say that while still at IBM?

Wikipedia says exact date (and indeed the quote itself) are uncertain but could have been ‘85 or ‘88

Uhm... tweeted by a man who works at the world's leading tech employer of linguists. Can you say "irony"?

The apocryphal quote was definitely much earlier than 1998. I have it on good authority (
@ProfSteveYoung) that Fred never said it. -
Thanks for confirming. I think that Fred had denied it in the 1996 conversation but I don’t remember clearly so I didn’t want to claim.

It is not available yet on O'reilly. I wanted to see it in context, but I would be shocked if this is your view. Without professional linguists, your model will output gibberish. Google Translate still does this by the way.
