Well, to most people, Google is dominating the internet as we know it. However, now they are trying to dominate English as well! The Seattle times reports that Google is now using their trademark to prevent people from saying “Why don’t you Google it?” or “Google and find out for yourself”.

Now this is a bit too much since no trademark should be able to control the English language. The odd part is searching for a definition of “google” on it’s own Search Engine does not show this! Instead it shows the listings which hail Google for being the most used Search Engine and so on. None of these listings explain that in the English language “google” is a number with a hundred zeros after it.

Now most people would be outraged at this, but Yahoo! took it as an opening for them! Considering the fact that using their Search Engine as a verb could bring in a ton of loyal visitors, Yahoo! decided to let people use their trademark as a verb! However, things just don’t sound that correct when you say “Why don’t you Yahoo! it?” and just might confuse a few people!

Well we can only see what the future holds for this situation! Andy Beal was the one who bought this to our attention!
