12:00 pm, January 27th | by Amy Tennery
For some unknown reason, a Google Translate user wanted to translate the phrase “men are men and men should clean the house” from English into Spanish. Why this occurred remains unclear. Regardless, Google Translate knew they must have typed that incorrectly.
