[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Okay, so I'm trying to figure out what this class is about. It mentions "keyboarding". Is that new age lingo for typing? Keyboard used to be a noun. It seems like people are trying to make things sound smarter, but it just sounds dumber to me using a noun as a verb, and adds unnecessary confusion. Keyboarding could mean using a piano keyboard or using a computer keyboard. Why can't people just use the proper language? What is wrong with the word typing? Is it that no one knows how to type anymore because they only text in short sentences? Vent over. [/quote] Thec nature English language has been turned into a verb. I fight the verbalization of my mother tongue but have lost the battle.[/quote] Keyboarding could be a gerund. That's still a noun. [/quote] "I am keyboarding my thesis.". [/quote]
