In English it seems that any noun can be ‘verb-ed’ (<— see?)

Ha ha.

I first experienced this wretched practice when I worked in NYC...someone said "we have to dimension the process." I maintained composure but internally I was ranting - "Wtf does that even mean? Do you mean you have to sketch-out or size-up the process? Do you realize you sound like a dope?"

Then through the 90s it became a badge of honor to talk like an idiot..."let's dialogue on this matter"..."Napster makes it easy to pirate music".

The West is lost.

Upon seeing the headline, just off the top of my head, I immediately thought of such words as “whip” and “pillory”. We have always turned nouns into verbs, quite appropriately I think-tank.

I love verbing nouns; I think it is a fun English thing to do. And I love my English, use the KJV, adore Shakespeare, and read Puritan works aloud on a podcast. So it’s not that I don’t love the English language.
