Am i the only one who thinks that using "Google it" instead of "search it" or "look it up" is problematic? (lemmygrad.ml)

There are so many search engines out there and even chat bots to get info from. I refuse to let Google monopolize an action.

In german ppl call adhesive tape "tixo" like the company producing it.

Do you mean Tesa? I've never heard Tixo but maybe we live in different parts of Germany?

Oh, I live in Austria! Maybe should have specified that, lol. I rly thought it would be the same for ppl in germany as well. At least here we say Tixo tho, I think I heard it on german telivision 'Tesaband'? Ig it makes sense that there's regional differences for this stuff.

"Tesafilm" is more common or just Tesa. I would have assumed it to be the same in Austria but I guess we both learned something today
