Hello everybody

Could you please tell me the difference:

"Ms Google" , "Saint Google" and "Google"

Why not Mr. Google?

Hi Tom

Google is of course the "official" name of the search engine, Google.
Ms Google is a nickname for this ubiquitous search engine.
I'd never heard Saint Google before, but it seems to be just another nickname.

I did a Google search for Mr Google, and actually got more results than for "Ms Google". So, it seems that Google is also considered to be masculine by plenty of people. :lol:

Amy
