Jae@futzle I go with DuckDuckGoed, on the grounds that DuckDuckGo is a single word so we are released from the constraints of etymology and can fly free, free, FREE!
@futzle Though if I’m honest, what I actually say is “googled”, out of a combination of laziness and the appealing thought that I am very slightly eroding Google’s brand equity every time I do so #genericide
@futzle “I googled it using DuckDuckGo” is even better. Get that shit into writing as often as possible, boost those citations for the loss of distinctiveness claim 👍🏻
