it's the same thing as when ppl ask for a band-aid or a kleenex and thats not the name of the actual brand their using. The one i hate the most is when someone ask for a Coke, and they don't mean a coke product.....i think there is a term for this, i would have to use yahoo to google it though.
hmm...i have a thought...why dont the people who use other search engines say..."i researched it?" or maybe "i looked it up?" that sounds much better than i yahooed it, or msned it....i've never actually said googled it
Nobody has the time to say I researched it, plus you sound cool saying googled or yahooed it.....FishLady22.....you're such a square, a true L7:read:
i'm a googler who googles but dont care if others dont google when they say theyre googling its not like i can see what search they are using what do i care. now if i tell someone to use google so they get the same page i got then they must google or i can still be hte googler and tell teh googlee to google even if they didnt googleded. ITS googled madness!
