    Well. he could always reNOUNce gerunds and simply use strong infinitives—or simply say “We” followed by the nouns that have been gerundized. Or stop trying to sound like Charlie Sheen!

    Ah but speeches sound so much more action packed in “Ing”-lish…


    And grammatically, I’d rather they were “nouning” verbs, with good old fashioned gerunds, than “verbing” nouns…
    especially when it comes to improbable ones like “securitized,” “friended,” and “dialogued.”
    Yeah yeah… and “verbing.”
