"Facebook" is not a verb

"Facebook" is not a verb and neither is "text". But it aggrivates me when I use them both in conversation. I just left a phone message for a friend that when we make plans I'll "facebook" a third friend to confirm

Heh, yeah. I'm reading a book on the history of the English language in America, and one of the things that surprised me was how far back the tendency to turn nouns into verbs goes.

It's no wonder ours is the most difficult language to learn!

I've given in to using "text" but dammit, I'm gonna hold out on "Facebook"!
