HighBeam Research: Going Beyond Googleing
By Marla Misek - January/February 2004 Issue, Posted Jan 27, 2004
Today, the proper noun "Google" is widely used as a verb, synonymous with the
act of searching itself. References abound online, in print, and even on
television encouraging people "to google" a subject for more information.
traditionally verbs would have an ending 'e' dropped when appending the 'ing'
suffix to form a noun 'from' a verb, in this case however, it has always been
acceptable to retain the 'e' since 'google' is already a noun.
