Introduction

I routinely will verbify nouns or nounify verbs to create words that seem like they should exist.  The problem being that I think about the world more like an architect so everything should be structural in nature – american english is most definitely not this!  So I’m creating a list of words that I personally believe should exist to increase their presence on the internet until Google adds them to their dictionary.
