Using software names as verbs
To Google something has now become a verb, meaning the action of looking up information online. Similarly, I'm wondering if it's grammatically appropriate to take other software names and use them as a noun. For example, if your boss says "that's a great presentation, please powerpoint this" as in, take the information and make a slideshow in powerpoint.
