This is a question Irrational Hatred

People who say "less" when they mean "fewer" ought to be turned into soup, the soup fed to baboons and the baboons fired into an active volcano. What has you grinding your teeth with rage, and why?

Googling?
Google actually complained about journalists using Google as a verb. Are they bloody stupid? If googling becomes the verb for using a search engine then surely that's a good thing.

Yes.
Yes Googling too.

Thinking about it - there's so much to hate, and so little time.

Similarly
I once saw an official marketing document from PhotoShop setting out the right and wrong ways to talk about their product, viz.:

WRONG: "This image has been photoshopped."
RIGHT: "This image has been modified using Adobe PhotoShop."

Far catchier, I'm sure you'll agree.
