  I appreciate verbing, but I don't think this is what happened when the user submitted the (now corrected) title. Not on purpose, anyway. I think what happened is a confusion between "lay off" and "layoff" (which also happens between "log in" and "login", "set up" and "setup", etc). There's no motivation to verbify "layoff", since the verb version already exists and is very close ("lay off").
