@ShaulaEvans@zirk.us English should follow German and incorporate compound words such as my favourite, torschlusspanik ("door-shut panic"), describing the sudden anxiety in older people that time or opportunities are running out. Meanwhile, I approve of the current move towards it being acceptable to verb any noun, e.g. when you're too tired to adult. Or consider our feline, who doesn't seem to know how to cat (she's remarkably clumsy). But I shall always oppose "literally"'replacing "figuratively"! 🤬
