Public service announcement


Attention please:

“VoIP” is not a verb.

Thank you.

(Honestly I’d be happy if people didn’t treat it as a single word, but I think that’s a lost cause.)

  1. I AM VOIPCASTING MY PODBLOG BUT I’LL REFRAIN FROM REFERRING TO THIS AS “VOIPING” IF THIS IS NOT THE PROPER TERMINOLOGY. ANYHOO, SEE YOU AT THE NEXT WARTAGGING MEETUP!!

  2. Next thing you know you’re going to tell me that different words are used differently!

    Seriously, though, I don’t hear anyone using it in the industry, except for Vonage commercials. It sounds like saying you’re going to “SMTP someone”. No, you’re going to email them, or you’re going to call them.
