Dear Mr. McFedries:

I am trademark counsel for Google. I have recently become aware of a
definition of "google" on your website, www.wordspy.com. This definition
implies that "google" is a verb synonymous with "search." Please note that
Google is a trademark of Google Technology Inc. Our brand is very
important to us, and as I'm sure you'll understand, we want to make sure
that when people use "Google," they are referring to the services our
company provides and not to Internet searching in general. ...
