A list of 21 words by aweissman

I wonder if there is a place for wordophobes.

“Wordophobe” is a fine choice for a list of favorite words, or of most feared ones.

Another good non-word is “internet” used as a verb meaning to contact somebody using the Internet. Emailing somebody is internetting them. Calling on the phone is not. DMing is internetting. Knocking on the door is not.

Speaking of turning nouns into verbs, when you do that it is called verbing. A thing about verbing is that verb is a noun, so using it as an action is an instance of verbing. Verbing is verbing.
