Some Long-Overdue Correctioning
This site is dedicated to informing people about words that are not verbs, even though people misuse them that way. You have to pick one of the non-verbs about which this site knows:
Neat idea. It’s about time computer professionals demand people stop constantly (mis)using words like, “lockdown” and “pickup” as verbs.
Me? My pet peeve is, “pedantic.” I hate when people use that wrong.
As in, “Please permit me a few moments to pedantic your harmlessly imprecise use of this absurdly opaque industry jargon.”
Because, I’m pretty sure that’s not a verb.
And, frankly, an industry as august as IT should never tolerate a semantic holocaust of this proportion without making a web page.
Glad someone’s finally heroing this issue with such infomationifying homepaging.
