From Stephen Fry’s Podgrams, Series 2 Episode 3, Language

“And the worst bunch of this semi-educated losers are those who seem to glory in being irritated by nouns becoming verbs. How dense and deaf to language development do you have to be? If you don’t like nouns becoming verbs, then for heavens sake avoid Shakespeare who made a doing word out of a thing word every chance he got. He tabled the motion and chaired the meeting in which nouns were made verbs.”
