My problem is when you take something that's CLEARLY just a noun and turn it into a verb.<br/><br/>CALVIN: I like to verb words.<br/>HOBBES: What?<br/>CALVIN: I take nouns and adjectives and use them as verbs. Remember when "access" was a thing? Now it's something you DO. It got verbed.<br/>...<br/>CALVIN: Verbing weirds language.<br/>HOBBES: Maybe we can eventually make language a complete impediment to understanding.

However, this would violate your long-standing distate for verbing nouns. Juggernauted anybody ?
