I completely agree words matter. They matter immensely because of what they communicate. That's my point. It seems plainly evident at this point that neither word is aiding communication, because we're arguing about what the words mean, rather than the facts of the situation. A sentence saying she was fired and a sentence saying she resigned both miss too much of the situation to be called clear, honest communication, which matters.

What occurred has been explained: She did not get a chance to offer up her resignation, Google terminated their employment relationship before that opportunity arose. And thus, it is completely reasonable to boil it down to: Google fired Timnit Gebru. Words matter. Google is lying when they claim that Timnit Gebru resigned. Google should absolutely be called out for this lie.
