I guess I'm going to have to accept it. It makes no difference whatsoever that "impact" is a noun, and only an noun. Not a verb. Worse, "invite" is a verb, only a verb, and never never never never never never never never is, was, or ever will be a noun. But what I will have to accept is that creepy skin-crawl for the rest of my life, because people simply will use those words that way. Dorkfuckers.edit: "Orientate" is not a word either. It's "orient." Back off, before I invent new epithets, insolent weasels!

There is such a thing as elegance, which, I remind you, counselor! was given as one of the reasons you are in my lineage. That, I suppose, and the sass. Definitely the sass.
Will no one rid our language of such inelegant fuckery, I say? I haven't even started on inelegant programming... [The worms! The worms! In that can madness lies!]
