11. Gmail is Google

Depending on the size and significance of your organization, you can contract with Google to run your email (and everything else), but it is still called gmail, albeit not the same exact gmail product that you get for free. Many universities do this. Partially because Google charges so little that it is cheaper than running email in house. Google does it to get their foot in the door and influence the next generation of managers into reliance on the Google ecosystem. I have no way of knowing whether or not the DNC did the same though.
