"She verbs nouns" would be a more appropriate complaint, although English has always welcomed the practice. Nouning verbs, likewise.

Latin grammar makes a poor fit, but we shoehorn our English into it as best we can because if Latin isn't always exactly right, what could ever be?

Vedic grammarians were always more rigorous than Latinists, but it is doubtful that a Sanskrit grammar would fit English better.

Damn should've known I was doing it wrong.

All I know is dang noticed and now I can die happy
