This is fuckin' ridiculous
"The Photoshop trademark must never be used as a common verb
or as a noun. The Photoshop trademark should always be
capitalized and should never be used in possessive form, or
as a slang term. It should be used as an adjective to
describe the product, and should never be used in
abbreviated form. The following examples illustrate these
rules:

Trademarks are not verbs.
CORRECT: The image was enhanced using Adobe® Photoshop®
software.

INCORRECT: The image was photoshopped.

Trademarks are not nouns.
CORRECT: The image pokes fun at the Senator.

INCORRECT: The photoshop pokes fun at the Senator.

Always capitalize and use trademarks in their correct form.

CORRECT: The image was enhanced with Adobe® Photoshop®
Elements software.

INCORRECT: The image was photoshopped.

INCORRECT: The image was Photoshopped.

INCORRECT: The image was Adobe® Photoshopped.

Trademarks must never be used as slang terms.
CORRECT: Those who use Adobe® Photoshop® software to
manipulate images as a hobby see their work as an art form.


INCORRECT: A photoshopper sees his hobby as an art form.

INCORRECT: My hobby is photoshopping.

Trademarks must never be used in possessive form.
CORRECT: The new features in Adobe® Photoshop® software
are impressive.

INCORRECT: Photoshop's features are impressive.

Trademarks are proper adjectives and should be followed by
the generic terms they describe.
CORRECT: The image was manipulated using Adobe®
Photoshop® software.

INCORRECT: The image was manipulated using Photoshop.

Trademarks must never be abbreviated.
CORRECT: Take a look at the new features in Adobe®
Photoshop® software.

INCORRECT: Take a look at the new features in PS. "

I'd first try to stop people from mixing THEN and THAN. Then
I would inform them about the words HAVE and OF and how you
can't replace HAVE with OF.

CORRECT: Adobe® Photoshop® is a great program but the
people who made it have very small penii

INCORRECT: Those losers who made ps only did it so they
could make their dicks look longer

'Penis' does not end in 'us', therefore the Latin plural 'i'
does not apply.

Correct: Penises

Incorrect: Penii

However, if it was spelled "Penus", then you would be
correct.

reminds me of when I went to this art school and some old
geezer who used to draw mickey mouse cartoons showed the
audience the "correct" way of drawing mickey mouse. It was
treated like a trademark instead of art really "never put
this line here"- referring to the jaw line or something. I'm
glad I didn't sign up.

I'd start with people who spell grammar "grammer" (read
up.)

It's a pity Adobe feel they have to do this. It's an
American thing though, "verbing" words, which fucks up and
warps the language beyond recognition. (see the calvin &
hobbes strip 'verbing weirds language')
