Nugget #97 -- Evolving Language

Words and grammar change. And we as 
writers should welcome and understand that 
change. Or at least that's what I believe.

Nugget #93 -- Verbing & Nouning

I have no problem verbing a noun. Nor do I have any 
issue nouning a verb. (See what I did there?) I think 
it's an amazing facet of language that it can be versatile 
enough to adapt in the face of changing culture.

Verb... That's what's happening.

Nugget #91 -- Living, Breathing, Growing Language

I love language. I love the etymology of words that haven't 
changed in hundreds of years, and I equally love the 
constant changing and updating of language that keeps 
English a sort of living, breathing, growing thing.
