I think you're right, but it was Hobbes (as usual) that made the telling point:Code:Calvin: I like to verb words. Hobbes: What? 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. Verbing weirds language. Hobbes: Maybe we can eventually make language a complete impediment to understanding. -Bill Watterson, Calvin and Hobbes
