Google, the Accademia della Crusca and the challenge of what it is

by admin

Why using Google Docs, the alternative writing program to Word, if we type “what is” and “another” (without apostrophe, ie in the correct form) we are often asked to change into “what is” and “another”? On Italian Tech we explained it: it is because the software is not based on grammar, but on a statistical analysis conducted by artificial intelligence, which learns to distinguish the shapes that are most likely to be correct based on their use.

The curiosity

Because even Google Docs writes which one is with the apostrophe

by Andrea Daniele Signorelli


In short, Google is also wrong because we are wrong, as the professor reminded us Paolo D’Achille, professor at the Roma Tre University and linguist at the Accademia della Crusca, to which we asked why the correct forms are those without apostrophe and if we really have to surrender to this dictatorship of the majority.

Come it happened for Covid-19. Why yes: the correct gender to indicate the disease caused by the coronavirus is the feminine.
