Okay, so I just finished my comment when Jeanie Moss on CNN played her take on George ‘I like to like at my ranch’ Bush “The Googler.”

While a Google spokesperson told the media that the President could call Google whatever he liked, I bet their legal team ordered the goon squad out because of the influence that the President’s recent comment can have.

Now that I think of it, couldn’t the First Man watch a live high-resolution satellite feed in his situation room? “Make it spin Dick! Make it spin!”

>>>>Didnâ€™t Google….say you shouldnâ€™t use â€˜googleâ€™ as a verb at all a few months ago?

Yes, to which Yahoo! immediately replied that they would love us to say we Yahooed, as in, “Andy, I Yahooed your wonderful new site on Google last night but it hadn’t been cached yet.”

Of course, everyone says Yahoo when the real company name is Yahoo!; the exclamation being the difference.

Don’t wanna end up like “kleenex” or “xerox”.

They did, but I think it was aimed at journalists etc. This post is aimed at consumers/users, so they’re trying to be a little less pushy.

Didn’t Google come out and say you shouldn’t use ‘google’ as a verb at all a few months ago?

At least their self-appointed grammar nazis are easing up a little.
