You have to move your mouth into a strange position to say the word's single syllable. And it's an opinion, as common as it may be, that Bing is an awful name for a search engine. When I first heard of the search engine google, I was immediately reminded of those childhood conversations about a number with 100 zeros following it. So yes, instant evocation. And maybe this would only happen with geeks, but that's exactly who they needed to convince to use their search engine. Microsoft seems to have decided to ignore geeks and just markets directly to 'average users'. This to me seems like a very poor strategy. No smart people telling you to use Bing or Windows 8 and guess what...
