Thread Name: BS: Nouns as Verbs: 'to summit Everest'
Subject: RE: BS: Nouns as Verbs: 'to summit Everest'
Dont get me wrong, genie. I have no objection to languages changing, or using verbs as nouns. I just sometimes think new coinages are quiet amusing. And frequently unnecessary. When I get round to climbing Everest, I will announce on this forum that I got to the top, not that I summitted(summited?).
