Hi, CalifJim and Clive.

Which one would you use between these two? I can't open Google or I can't access Google.

NugsoHi, CalifJim and Clive.Which one would you use between these two? I can't open Google or I can't access Google.
I'm not sure which would pop into my mind at the time. I'm likely to use either one. There's also "I can't get to Google", informally. I might use that as well.
