Imagine me shaking my cane from the porch as I type this, but Law's a Mercy the language she shor is achangin' What were once pretty reliable parts of speech, like verbs, are now nouns, e.g.,I have recently been 'friended' - why can't they have reintroduced the the actual verb: "BEfriended" Selling it as chill or sick or, um, down with it? as in "I'm gonna befriend your ass, dude." Maybe. Although that sounds a little scary. Marketing can do anything, which is in itself scary and horrible. They could make us start saying 'verily' and 'to wit, dawg' and 'zounds' if they wanted to. If only they wanted Katy. Luckily, you recently "follow"ed me. A verb doing a happily busy, productive thing. I can see you in galoshes, yellow ones. Following me. Now I am following you. Verily.
