Don't you like acronyms that are made into nouns that are made into verbs?

'Don't you like acronyms that are made into nouns that are made into verbs?'
I prefer straight-forward info like:
"this guy was, like, flying, somewhere, and like, got hurt, where he got hurt in the, like, EYE".
If that is not available, then of course, like you, I prefer acronyms that are made into nouns that are made into verbs.

Don't you like acronyms that are made into nouns that are made into verbs? Yes, when it makes sense. It's All-American (and in a way, All-English), as opposed to France where they have a government-controlled language and levy fines if official communications stray from the officially condoned "pure" French language.
If doublespeak is ever imposed globally it won't make much headway in the USA!

Verbing nouns is cool. But cooler yet is nouning a verb. Meltage. Now that is cool. But even cooler still, adjectiving nouned verbs. Meltagness. Although, by far the coolest of all would be culturally stereotyped adjective nouned verbs. Meltagenessskiowitz.

"Don't you like acronyms that are made into nouns that are made into verbs?" Acronyms That Are Made Into Nouns That Are Made Into Verbs = ATAMINTAMIVs.
Of course, there are several examples of atamintamivs not only in this thread, but most newscasts these days.
Indeed, it seems that nearly every human language is becoming atamintamivated.
Even this post is a showcase of atamintamivation!
