It’s also hard to know what "Google" means from its name. And "Windows". And "Bing". And "Facebook", "Twitter", "WhatsApp", "Amazon", "Yelp", "Pocket", "Chrome", "Firefox", "Safari", "Uber", "Steam", and many more.
- donald123 8y agoI guess what I meant by "hard to know" is less confusing. All the names in your example cannot be easily confused with other product or brand. But "Google One" is the other way around.
- hk__2 8y agoI think it’s only because they’re well known. "Amazon" could be a supermarket selling organic food; "WhatsApp" some site to recommand apps; "Facebook" another site to make books out of pictures of your family; "Uber" and "Bing" pretty much anything.
- biztos 8y agoOf these, I always found "Yelp" pretty self-evident, at least if you've read many reviews there. From Webster's: "a sharp shrill bark or cry (as of a dog or turkey)"[0] [0]: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/yelp https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/yelp
