“Gift” used as a verb.
“Marshall law”.
invite used as a noun
The past tense of “drag” is “dragged”,NOT “drug” which I have heard MANY times,even by educated people.
.
“Marshall law”...
... is that kinda like “Cardinal sin”?
"The use of gift as a verb is not new, at least according to the Oxford English Dictionary, which lists examples of gift used to mean to make a present of from as early as the 17th century. "
There're differences of opinion on it. Words can become correct through common usage. Oops. My introductory contraction may be ok through common usage but it's better to just write or say "There are".
Marshall law irritates me no end, but sometimes I write things automatically. I don't think I've ever pounced on anyone for that one though. And it's useless to protest that I knew better. Sometimes I don't know better, but sometimes I do.
It's embarrasing to be corrected personally or be "called out" on things. Feels like one-upmanship. Impersonally as you have done as a point of discussion or teaching is fine.
As attributed to William Safire, "You can verb anything".
That's perfectly OK. It distinguishes the act of transferring without compensation from the act of simply transferring. Thus, it should be used if making that distinction matters.
