What a weird thing to get angry at.

I think using brands as verbs might be very normalised in the US but it's less common elsewhere.

It's not offensive but it's... jarring or noticeable.

Here no one would say whatsapped or telegramed or signalled. It's just messaged.

Are they angry?

Plus the additional information can be useful. If someone says "I'll whatsapp you the details" you might respond with: "No I don't have internet connection, just SMS me instead" or "I don't use whatsapp, how about signal". At the very least you know where to look for the message

Lemmites love to find the most pointless pretentious things to get high and mighty over.
