And a couple of quotes from that page point out just what we're talking
about:

"This is very clever, but your verbs are often real verbs. As anyone who has
worked in a web-related business for two months (as I have) knows, most
verbs are not verbs at all, but nouns.
- David S.

This is awesome! I spend most of my time at company meetings keeping notes
of corpspeak and lingo, always looking out for new buzzwords. My favorite
practice is the verbing of nouns, as well as the flexibility of the verb
"leverage." Apparently you can leverage anything.
- Eric M.


[whether or not these are truly "unsolicited comments" from readers of the
page or just more BS the original author added to make the site attractive,
I don't know, but as I said, they are at the heart of the matter that
started this thread]
