Another baffling invention is the current trend towards verbs as nouns, unchanged. Namely, ‘compute’ and something else technicky. You know, I think I'm gonna leave the browse for a while, sit in the eat-prepare and make me some eat to relaxed sound-play. To avoid my blood press go too high. Maybe take a walk on the walk or even down to the green-grow. I guess people felt about the same way when nouns were taking off as verbs and adjectives. Anyway, soon all the parts of speech will change places and everything will be fine again. ---- Also, get a load of “China Ferrari sex orgy death crash”: https://i.imgur.com/of9ZaGN.jpg https://i.imgur.com/of9ZaGN.jpg

  What am I missing? That all leads back to 'to cook'.

    Brain fart, my error. Corrected.

  The Latin words seem to mean ‘the place of cooks,’ with ‘coquinus’ being an adjective and ‘coquina’ a noun.

It's not limited to technology: your observation hit me right in the feels.

  Eh, ‘the feels’ is afaik a typical humorous corruption, which I personally heartily welcome.

  I don't have trypophobia, but I imagine it's similar to the cringy sensation I get when I hear phrases like "hit me in the feels", and "he's good people".

I feel way agitated by false homonyms, say "very" rendered "way". I don't really mind, but thinking about it is irritating ...

Adjective rather than verb, but that's how I feel about Apple's use of "Recents" as a menu entry in some of their software. Developers, if your application ever offers me a selection of Recents, I will delete it and then delete it, and delete it, again and again until the computer steps in to stop me. I like to think that this is what provoked Jony Ive into leaving.
