"Decisioning." Urk.

We all know any noun can be verbed.

But it is equally true that any adjective can be nouned:

"Give me your avails." (Tell me when you are available.)

And any verb can be nouned:

"It's a good pour." (When I pour it and then taste it, I find it to be
good.)

Plurals can be singled:

"It's a nice pant." (Said of a pair of pants being held out for the
customer's evaluation.)

Sadly, I cannot go on without inducing a state of high irritation in
myself -- never a good thing at work -- and must stop. But you can
continue!
