Online terms as verbs?

I'm not too sure if anyone ever notice this but isn't it that some internet related terms (nouns) are now treated as verbs? For example: 1. "Google it" This implies to Google something or search something online. Whenever we need to look for something, we turn to Google. Replies like "I'm Googling it!" became acceptable these days. 2. "Email it" Again, email was supposed to be a term or noun for "electronic email" since it's now widely used, it turned into a verb. Something like "I emailed it to you." I now common. No reason really. I just find it amusing :D

Yes! You are correct! Here in myLot, you'll often see members saying Happy myLotting or I am myLotting. In this case, myLotting is added to a helping verb am, and myLotting becomes the main verb.

You made a good point! I think the common things we do online automatically becomes a verb once we get too used to it :P
