How do you feel about nouns being used as verbs?
Kathryn Goldman is very much not a fan – and today we’re getting the full force of her Unpopular Opinion on verbification. Turns out it’s a hot button topic.
Kathryn is an attorney - a specialist in copyright, trademark + contracts at her Creative Law Center. Which means, she uses words like scalpels. And randomly mucking about with these precision tools, will not stand.
We get into how nouns transform into verbs, the impact on language + how some words flip their meanings completely. It can cause much frustration among word nerds.
Look for more shows in this Unpopular Opinions strand where guests share their hot takes.
