Do grammar nits get into a snit over the 'corruption' of the word 'entree'?

I have no idea what you are talking about.

I guess you could care less about it, then, so don't bother to google it.

BTW, is it ok to verbify 'google'?

How isn't it already a verb?

How did it become a verb?

Of course, I don't mean the word 'google' that is derived from googly. Nor do I mean the sense in which it was reportedly used in a Little Rascals film in 1927.

I mean, of course, the word that is the name of a company, and its web site, and its search engine. That word has been verbified, against the wishes of its 'owners' (Google Corporation).
