Message as a verb
by Acidus at 11:04 am EST, Dec 13, 2007 |
When did "message" become a verb? I was in a meeting today with fancy uses of "message" such as "I'll message that information" or "Who will be messaging this?" Does anyone else find this silly? UPDATE: It really is a Verb! |

This one has clearly been promoted too far too quickly. He has noticed the language differences instead of slowly becoming accustomed to them over time. There is a risk he may discover the secret before he is ready. |
