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

Imo it’s a reflex at this point. Like some people say “can you pass me a Kleenex” instead of “can you pass me a tissue” and like 99% of people call it a Taser instead of… idek what it’s called. Even Escalator and Kerosene were once Trademarked, but with enough use by normal people, they can lose it to a process called genericization (the process of becoming Generic). Hopefully Google™️ loses its trademark because they’re pretty fucked up
