I love the language. I wish I could get myself to the level of a native (British or, failing that, American).
Meanwhile, I have developed my own phobia: to the use of a natural-born noun as a verb. After all, it was a good book, as thrillers go. But using that artificial monster of a word "ignitioned" to describe the act of turning the car key in the ignition about 50 times in the story was causing me an electric jolt each time I have stumbled upon it. Yuck.
How could we solution this problem with some Americans?
