Google becomes a verb
Sometimes a company comes up with a new product or service that is so widely used that the company name enters the general vocabulary. We all “xerox” things (or used to before the scanner became so cheap). Many of us also “google” people or topics. And now it’s official that google (lowercase) is a verb. According to a story at ZDNet, Merriam-Webster has added “google” to its dictionary. Even the Oxford English Dictioary has added “Google” as a verb but they capitalize it.
