  • At this stage in the English language, it seems there are few nouns that can't be verbed and few verbs that can't be nouned. English is flexible like that.

    But some I don't like:

    I don't want to hear "sex" as a verb on its own (without "have"). Lazy rappers sometimes say things like "she sexin' me" and I'm like: no.

    Also, don't use "gift" as a verb; just don't. What's so bad about "give a gift"?
