I was wondering, should google be a word in the dictionary?
Or is it already, because Its used as a word.
"go google it..."
So what Do you think?

Of course "Googol" is in the dictionary. It is a number that is equal to 1 followed by 100 zeros and expressed as 10¹°°.
That's a very strange number, isn't it? It can't be 1 Googol. Look at the number: 1 Million, it is a 1 followed by 6 zeros: 1,000,000. Every three places there is a comma, right? Look at the number 1 Quintillion, a 1 followed by 18 zeros. Still the same point, every three places there is a comma. If we had a 1 followed by 7 zeros it wouldn't be a Million. It would be 10 Million, right?
So how can we have 1 Googol? Wouldn't it be 10 Googol?
10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.
The dictionary won't help you! This is MATH, not rocket surgery it ain't brain science either.
