Introduction
Google is a multinational technology company specializing in Internet-related services and products. These include online advertising technologies, search, cloud computing, and software. Most of its profits are derived from AdWords.
The name “Google” originated from a misspelling of “googol”, which refers to 10100, or 10^100. Google was founded in 1996 by Larry Page and Sergey Brin while they were Ph.D. students at Stanford University, in California. Together they own about 14 percent of its shares but control 56 percent of the stockholder voting power through supervoting stock. They incorporated Google as a privately held company on September 4, 1998. An initial public offering took place on August 19, 2004 and Google moved to its headquarters in Mountain View, California, nicknamed the Googleplex. In August 2015, Google announced plans to reorganize its interests as a holding company called Alphabet Inc. When this restructuring took place on October 2, 2015, Google became Alphabet’s leading subsidiary as well as the parent for Google’s Internet interests
Breakdown of the word Google
The word “google” can be broken down into two parts: “goo” and “gle.” The first part, “goo,” is a slang term for information or data. The second part, “gle,” is a made-up word that has no meaning. Together, the word “google” means “to search for information on the internet.”
The correct way to pronounce Google
The correct way to pronounce Google is “goo-gull.” The “g” is pronounced like a hard “g,” as in the word “ggle.” The word “Google” is not prounounced with a long “o” sound, as some people think. The “-gle” at the end of the word is pronounced like a single syllable.
Why the incorrect way is so popular
The most popular way to say Google is actually wrong. Most people say “goo-gull,” but the correct way to say it is “goo-gol.” So why do so many people say it wrong?
It turns out that when Google was first founded in 1998, the company chose the name because they wanted a word that would be easy to spell and easy to remember. And “goo-gol” fit the bill perfectly. But over time, people have started to say it wrong, and now the incorrect way is more popular than the correct way.
There are a few theories as to why this might be. One possibility is that people are just mishearing the word when it’s said aloud. Another possibility is that people are seeing the word written down more often than they’re hearing it spoken, and so they’re mistakenly assuming that the correct pronunciation is “goo-gull.”
Whatever the reason, it’s clear that Google has become one of thosewords that can be pronounced in different ways, depending on who you ask. So if you’ve been saying it wrong all this time, don’t worry – you’re not alone!
