Why thoughless verbing should be avoided

Lets say you were in a project that was being killed by process. Everything needed to go though 30 steps to get done.

One might thing "They are going to process this to death"

But that would mean "chop up into little pieces, as in a blender." It would be confusing.

Verbing. Don't do it.

-Daniel

P.S. I'm ok with "verbing" the word verb. Why? Because there is no similar word in the English language. Also, it's funny. But really. Don't do it. Verbing weirds language.
