Hi. My name is Mister Dinklebert,am a 26 year old female and I have a google addiction.
I didn’t know I had a problem, until my family staged an intervention.
They expressed to me that my addiction is having a negative affect on their livlihoods and apparently mine.
Every morning I start out my day by going to google.com and asking a life changing question like ” Why do me and my workbuddies have succinct menstral cycles?”Apparently,by the way, it is because we experience the same daily stressors which as caused this “synchonization.” Then, I proceed my daily question with checking my google mail, and uploading my daily question to my daiy questions label in my library..Over the past 6 years , my library of daily questions has grown to a total of 2,190 questions. My library is archived on my desk top because I can’t just keep these items in my inbox forever. It has proven useful and I have considered going on Jeopardy because of the wealth of knowledge I have obtained just by asking a daily question for 6 years. My family doesn’t understand that the fact they named me Mister for my first name, and being a female, may have socialized me into this addiction. I have never been certain of myself being called Mr. all of my life and being a female, and i am certain with Google.Anyway,after checking my Gmail, I then go to my daily calendar where I have the time documented daily, for checking my daily questions. I keep a reminder set 4 hours and twenty minutes prior to checking( because I have an obession with the numbers 4 and twenty. I am not sure why I am obsessed with these numbers but I always have been. My family is hurt by my addiction because it is taking away qaulity family time. Last Christmas I missed our family get together, because I spent the day googling all the ways to celebrate Christmas. Needless to say, they did not save me a plate of my favorite brandied cranberries, and warm delectable turkey. I found this site by googling it, and hence is only enabling my habits further. When I watched the ball drop, online, I was reeling. I called my friend Herbert via my google voice number and we did a cyber toast using our web cams. I don’t know if anyone else suffers as madly as I do. But, I pray to Google that I have some some answers soon.

Yes Ann you are right google is becoming an intoxication for all of us. We can live without google. The most important thing is that SEOs are filling their stomach by using google only. Are you are agree or not ?

Hi Ann,

I love the define: operator very much, great feature!

But I wouldn’t trust the spelling correction to the end of the world. Occasionally, the suggestions are weird. Some time ago the search results page for “Riesenkamel” (Giant Camel) on the german google.de asked if you mean something totally different instead: some part of the male anatomy that might also be gigantic. Well, it was the “google of the day” in the blogosphere and really nice entertainment

I occasionally need to translate something into Spanish, and if I’m not convinced that my grammar is correct, I’ll do the same trick of trying a couple of variations in google.es to see which is more popular.

David (above) makes a good point about not relying on web users for good grammar; I tend to look for examples on more credible, authoritative sites, rather than blog posts.

And for my own blog, I actively search for examples of bad grammar!

A great argument for mobile search, no?

Using Google to check for idiom use is an interesting approach. I like it.

While it is sometimes clear that English is not your first language – it is not always clear that it is not. So you must be doing something right.

Great post Ann!

I think we are all addicted to that powerful system called Google, and it deserves it. It might have been turning us lazy, but, it turned us to use our mind in some other way to make our pages friendly to it!
