"Hackage"? You mean "hacked". This current trend of appending "...age" to the end of a word or action, is stupid. |

Who the F are you, Miss Beavers, my eighth grade English teacher? No, I meant hackage and that is why I wrote hackage. If I meant hacked, I would have written hacked and not hackage. Here is a nice grade school level site https://www.ck12.org/spelling/the-suffix-age/lesson/suffix-age/ for you to study that has some examples and practice lists for you, showing how a verb + age = a noun. You can do this with nouns also, like tonnage. Before you declare the use of some words as stupid, you might also consider evaluating your own word usage a little more precisely. How could one append an (not a), "..age" to an action, as differentiated from appending it to a word. To do so is metaphysically absurd. When you walk down the street, can you append "...age" to the action of walking down the street? Perhaps, you are confused and mean append an, "...age" suffix to a noun or a verb. Just as you think what I wrote is stupid, I think what you wrote was the action of a retardate (and yes, that is the correct way of saying it, not retard). Maybe you could start a thread on word rants. I will be happy to contribute because the twatage that you wrote is rant-worthy. :) Relax, take it easy, be nice, watch some Mr. Belvedere reruns ;D |

The first point of eti's being wrong doesn't preclude the other from being spot on :P In my days, we simply called it a hack ::) |
