With the simple addition of '-ment' or '-ion' to a verb, it becomes a noun! Learn how to change a verb into a noun in this grammar lesson. It's pretty simple, once you understand how it works.
Is it timosmanment or timosmanion when I verb you?
The topic is verbs-into-nouns and not nouns-into-verbs.
Is this the source of your irritation?

The one that really irks me is when the word request is replaced by ask in a corporate setting, such as: "The conversation concerns a customer with an ask about the product."
I see this constantly in my industry and it drives me ape-$#@!.

Peace.
It was the big Ask. And she said yes!
Yup. Mostly done by non-native speakers.
Let me guess. English is not your primary language?
Da! Yo spreche Engrish tres bien! Grazie!
I've never seen or heard it before. I asked my Wife if She has, and she said it is common. She is a Desk Jockey.

Muchas gracias.
That's about as bad as someone asking a querstion about something.
Corporate psychopaths trying to be cute and the desk jockeys too afraid to utter a peep.
I like the word conversate.
I doubt she has enough time to worry about it.Corporate psychopaths trying to be cute and the desk jockeys too afraid to utter a peep.

Why you should stop telling people you're so busy - http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthr...you-re-so-busy
Muchos Garcias. Buenas nachos!
I also like to pronounce Parmesan, par-me-see-n and guacamole, Guatemala.
I was refusing to use "impact" long before this "ask" thing showed up.
I actually tell members of my team that "impact" is a handy way for people to remain voluntarily ignorant of when to use "affect" vs "effect", and when you use it around me, you are proclaiming this willful ignorance.
I haven't figured put how to insult them into not using "ask" as a noun yet.
There are no crimes against people.
There are only crimes against the state.
And the state will never, ever choose to hold accountable its agents, because a thing can not commit a crime against itself.
I'm to busy to click on that.

Only beta females make asks. I make demands. Like a boss
