Google Turns Out To Be A Verb
Very rapidly the term “google” has entered in common dialect. The word is so widely used that the Oxford English Dictionary added Google as a verb to its online edition. Few days before even Merriam-Webster added “google” (without the capital “G”) as a general term, meaning “to use the Google search engine to get information on the World Wide Web”.
When Editor Peter Sokolowski of Merriam Webster Associate was asked the reason behind adding this word he said “It’s a consequence of us finding the word used in print so frequently that we feel it’s appropriate to add it in our dictionary”.
