Good point! I can hardly complain of modern abuses of the language, given what the Saxons did to it. I await the seemingly inevitable "evilnessness". [EDIT:] However, I can't agree that TFA is about "the state" of feature branching, or really even that feature branching is an entity that can possess a state. According to TFA, feature branching is bad. That's an intrinsic property, not one that feature branching will be able to overcome with appropriate prayer and reflection. This is usually the case when abstract nouns are considered evil, so "evilness" is usually poor diction.
