An interesting discussion over at Metafilter about the issue of trademark protection by corporations. This is an ongoing issue (think kleenex, coke and xerox - er, Kleenex(tm), Coke(tm) and Xerox(tm) but this particular thread was inspired by Adobe’s policy on the use of “photoshopping” as a verb, namely:
CORRECT: The image was enhanced using Adobe® Photoshop® software.
INCORRECT: The image was photoshopped.â€
