@NickEast_IndieWriter @linguistics @humor@fedigroups.social @humor@lemmy.world @aiop Verbing weirds language.

Calvin and Hobbes in three panels. They are standing in a snowy landscape. Calvin tells Hobbes I like to verb words. Hobbes asks What? Calvin explains 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. Finally Calvin says Verbing weirds language.
