~10 years ago I would say “google it” often. But now I don’t think I say that at all, and would say “search for it” or similar.

I don’t think I really consciously decided to stop saying it, but I suppose it just felt weird to explicitly refer to one search engine while using another.

Just me? Do you say, or hear others say, “google it” in $current_year? Is it different for techies and normies?

    I still do sometimes, despite using DDG for about a decade now and working in IT myself. Haven’t met anyone who doesn’t say it in my area.
