@DrPen I love how Adobe has their entire page on "don't turn it into a verb" to maintain their trademark but they still absolutely want it synonymous to some extent for monopolistic purposes.

As much as I love "potatochop" as the goofy term for editing maybe it's time for me to alter that.

@KayOhtie @DrPen As a bonus, especially for those of us that use AWS tools regularly: it's a fun and useful exercise to translate their nomenclature (like VPCs, IFWs, and various rules engines) back into their IETF standards: rfc-archive.org

I regularly and almost-religiously do this, because I refuse to let Amazon own the terms under which internet connectivity operates.
