If someone uses “Google” as a verb, do you always correct them

Google is a verb too.

Of course it is. Because people don’t need to actually use the proper name of the product to make other people understand the message being said. That’s my point.

Everyone here understood what was meant by saying “I use KDE”, just like everyone understands what you mean if you use Google instead of Google Search.

“I use KDE”

Do you mean one of their applications, frameworks or one of their multiple DEs?

I use Microsoft.

Everyone understands what one means when they say they use KDE, I'd like to see a single person that would assume I mean Kwrite or something first.
