Re: Pet Peeve: Nouns used as Verbs
I wish I could get my developers to understand that there are perfectly
good verbs that are easier to use.
I moved to Australia almost a year ago and I
am still getting used to some common "verbing"
here -- the one that sounds most odd to me is
"to farewell," as in "Steve Irwin was farewelled
by family and friends at a service yesterday."
