Anthony Gardener takes an amusing look at an undeniable trend: "Mothers and fathers used to bring up children: now they parent. Critics used to review plays: now they critique them. Athletes podium, executives flipchart, and almost everybody Googles. Watch out—you’ve been verbed." -- "
You've Been Verbed"
STTA. One thing for sure: The trend that Gardener describes has the quality of a tidal wave. Generally, English teachers tend to be a bit conservative in such matters, but one wonders: Is there really anything to worry about? What does Gardener think? What do you?
