１センテンスまたは文章の一部をGoogle の英語版で検索し
沢山ヒットしたらＯＫ
というように使う動きがあるようなのですが、これは、余りお勧めしません。
お馴染み、George先生の言葉を借りますと、
Regarding using Google like a dictionary, I can't stress
how much of a BAD IDEA this is. Google searches pages and
does not differentiate between pages that have been written by people who can use English properly and people who
can't.
Even corporate sites frequently have errors on their pages
so there is no guarantee that anything Google produces will actually be an accurate way of saying things.
People also tend to be extremely sloppy on the web so they will use informal language and short forms that are not appropriate for normal written business communications.
Google は、正しい件数をカウントするわけではないのです。そもそも、ウェブ上には企業サイトであっても誤りもあるので、例え件数を多くヒットしても、当てにできない、ということです。
