Summit is a verb now?

It has been for a while, in certain dialects. One of the wonderful things about english is that it evolves.
Yup, that happens pretty regularly, some coianges being better than others.

For example, during the Beijing Olympics, various coaches and commentators unfortunately verbified 'medal'. The resulting sentences were not pleasant...

Disclaimer: English is not my first language.

In my experience, I see it's very, very common to turn a noun as a verb, in informal contexts. Do you people still bother to make a distinction?

Yes we do make that distinction.
