While on my Apple iMac computer, using my Opera web browser, with my Coca-Cola soft drink, and my Kleenex facial tissues on the desk beside me. Later, I may find some humorous images that were manipulated through use of Adobe Photoshop Elements software by using the Google Search engine.

Are they serious? Like anyone is going to use that exact verbage...although I like yours that was pretty funny.

Trademarks are not verbs.
Correct: The image was enhanced using Adobe® Photoshop® software.
Incorrect: The image was photoshopped.

So, saying "that was 'shopped...I can tell from the pixels" is bad? The folks over at Fark are gonna be in trouble...

Grammatically, they're correct. However, they're out of their trees if they think this is going to work.

Private Eye - a satirical publication over here - received a letter that they printed a while back. Every letter they print has a schoolboy-humour heading. Something involving glaucoma would be entitled "Eye told you". One demand to know a journalist's source (it does a lot of investigatory work) was headed "Fuck off".

This one was from the Portakabin/Portacabin company (can't remember the spelling, and can't be bothered to look it up). There are many companies providing portable offices, but that name is a trademark, and should not be used as a generic to add weight to an inferior brand, the letter stated. It was very important that the magazine should use the term correctly in future - capitalised and so forth. It came from the offices of the company in question.

The letter was headed with, "What a sad way to make a living."

The next issue, I turned to the letters page with anticipation, and I was right. Every single letter was headed by, "Portakabin."

Eye- glaucoma- ! Funny. Don't you also love how you go into a coffee shop and everyone thinks they are a superintellectual person? Until you prove them wrong and you know they are not going to the bathroom- they are going home to cry in their Cheerios....

Kleenex facial tissues on the desk beside me

I believe the correct way to say that is 'Kleenex, Inc. ® Brand Facial Tissue Product'

My company actually tried the same thing with their phones a few years ago - telling us (and customers) what to call them and what not to call them.
Yeah, that ended rather quickly.
