Note to Google Inc: I love your services, they are great! However, in the future, please refrain from
ridiculous nitpicking. I'd prefer that my native language would remain in the public domain, where it belongs. You ought to be thankful that the fellows of days begone didn't have lawyers like yours and trademark the words: internet, web, blog, homepage, search, incorporated, etc. In that case you would have had an interesting time trying to describe what your company does. You are existing and making money because some folks recognized that some things should be in the public domain, please return the favour. Thank you very much!
In the words of of San Jose journalist
Dan Gilmor: "Maybe the lawyers made them say this. But actually saying it makes the company look, well, idiotic."
