Is Google a proper verb?
I know it's a proper noun (the name of something). A Google search (adjective?) for the answer was unsuccessful. No one will commit that proper verbs exist.

Currently, there is no such thing in the English language as a proper verb. A proper noun is the name of a specific person, place, or thing, such as Gerald, New York, and the Titanic. Whilst the word Google has become a verb, it is not a proper verb. That would be a brand new grammatical category.

@CorvusBlackthorne So, let's make it a new category!
@ChipmunkErnie There is certainly no reason not to.
