Google consensus has never been a good way to verify words or meanings. Just look up the definition of the word "definition" in google. The google supplied definition matches no major dictionary online.

That was over 15 years ago, there were no google supplied anythings, just search results :) And it was just for spelling, not meaning. like this:

https://www.google.com/search?q=nuclear 397.000.000 results

https://www.google.com/search?q=nucular 172.000 results

Which obviously still works, but it was just the most simple example of "search engine consensus reality" I could think of.
