This afternoon, I logged onto Dictionary.com to look up a word (no kidding) and this article caught my eye. According to it, Facebook has trademarked the word "book", which essentially means that you cannot use it without Facebook's permission. My first reaction: "WhatTheHeck?!" Seriously, you look at this and think, wait a sec, so if I say, "I read Savvy for lit club; it ws a good book," could Facebook sue me? I mean, really, if they can do this, could companies trademark words like "the"? It just seems really, really, really stupid to me, that's all. Therefore, it deserved my strange opinion.
