Mr. Dreadful - But really I'm not actually your friend, but I am...

I've just seen, in the comments thread following a Facebook post, someone saying 'inbox me'.

It appears 'inbox' is becoming regarded as a verb rather than a noun.

I give up.

Oh dear, I'm afraid I love nouns to verbs.

Or 'verbing', as I prefer to say...

Sorry, you're mistaken. It's not "verbing". The proper term is "verbatizing"

I verbatize. Verbatization is what I do. smiley - laugh


(There's a bit of truth in this since the official term for my field of work is "digital imaging".)

I'm not really here

Fred does a fair bit of verbatizing. Gets very noisy round here sometimes.
