Grammar matters!

Hmm yes you are right. Ok, so there is no reason why I should ever say lay instead of lie now

[MDLarson]

So… is "Photoshop" a verb now?

"Just Photoshop it!"

One more interesting thing is the use of words in type that aren't used in language. For example, often when writing in singular "they" or "their" is used in place of he or she in order to be gender neutral. Other times, s/he is used, but this has no pronunciation. It is a paper-only word.

Language evolves in strange ways. Fifteen years ago I doubt that anyone would expect certain words to become verbs.

"I was spammed!"

[nkuvu]

I know quite a few English sticklers (you know who you are ) who insist that using 'they' or 'their' is incorrect for gender neutral speech. There is no good alternative in English, but some people are trying to get new words adopted for gender neutrality.

Finnish already is a gender-neutral language. The 3rd-person singular noun is "hän," and you have to figure out from context whether it's "he" or "she."
Finland also has the world's best record of pay equality between the sexes. Coincidence? I wonder...

[Jadey]

In Canada, it's not legal at all to pay between the sexes.
