Google Does Not Want You To Say AMPlify, AMP'd Or AMPed

Google Amp

Since Google launched Accelerated Mobile Pages, i.e. AMP, people have been saying their pages are AMPlify, AMP’d Or AMPed – well, Google doesn’t want you to say things like that. Google said using the terms like that will reduce “the strength and recognition of the term.” Instead, use the term as AMP with an applicable noun. So AMP HTML, AMP Cache, AMP JavaScript.

their pages.” Instead, Google wants you to say “the website has AMP Pages.” Got it?

Here are those guidelines as a screen shot:
