One of life's great questions:

Why, in 'spell check', is there no past tense for 'Google'?

If you did something prior to a post, it always comes up as a spelling error. We all 'Googled', why no past tense?
There are other words for which no past tense is recognized.

Spell checkers unite! Cure this travesty!

(How is this for a very non-consequential question of the day?)

Just as one used to say, "look that up in your Funk and Wagnalls." Thanks so much for bringing this to our attention.
