- rlevy 11y agoAmazon and google are also words to find in a dictionary but that doesn't get in the way of enforcing their trademark
- okamiueru 11y agoGoogle is in the dictionary? Since when? Maybe you are thinking of 'googol'?
- schappim 11y agoYup, it's in the Oxford English Dictionary. I don't know when, but I'm guessing after September 4, 1998.
- coroxout 11y agoThe online version says for me "This is a new entry (OED Third Edition, March 2006)" for capitalised "Google", meaning "To use the Google search engine to find information on the Internet." It also has a lower-case "google", in a cricket-related meaning, from 1933; so it has that in common with Amazon, whose meaning in the OED is still unrelated to the company. Of the ball: to have a ‘googly’ break and swerve. Of the bowler: to bowl a googly or googlies; also (trans.), to give a googly break to (a ball).
