Does Google make grammatical mistake?

Yes, it does. Try to google "Did the Founding Fathers own slaves?" Google comes back with the grammatically wrong suggestion of: Did you mean: Did the Founding Fathers owned slaves? When the past tense in the question is already denoted by the auxiliary verb "did", it is wrong to repeat the past tense in the lexical verb "own". The Yahooh search engine makes grammatical mistake too. It comes back with: Did you mean: Did the Founding Father's own slaves?
