[wispfox]

Am I a verb?

Comments

And if so, are you transitive or intransitive? And can you be reflexive? (I mean, you're pretty flexible, but...)

I bet if I am able to be a verb, I can totally verb myself!

[regyt.livejournal.com]

According to Buckminster Fuller, yes.

(He said: "I am not a thing — a noun. I seem to be a verb, an evolutionary process — an integral function of the universe.")

Best. Answer (and icon). Ever.

Much love!

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

Yes. Many religions state that God is love; many state either that God indwells within us or more simply that we are God; current usage in my local area vociferously insists that love is a verb. Therefore you are a verb.

[wispfox.livejournal.com]

Wait, don't I have to believe in the initial premise of a God in order to be a verb, then?

Not that I disagree that love is in us all as well as a verb. That might be sufficient for me to be a verb. ;)

Isn't everyone?

[wcg.livejournal.com]

Of course. Doesn't everyone want to conjugate with you?

*bursts out laughing* Ok, you and regyt now tie for best comment ever. :)

I love the questions game.

Is there a squirrel on my head?

Is there a greater-than-zero chance of your chair spontaneously combusting?

You mean like this?

Bright sunlight wispfoxed through the open window as she yawned and wispfoxed the hair from her eyes. Out in the yard she could hear the sound of birds wispfoxing. A gentle breeze, warm for the first time in months, wispfoxed the curtains. She wispfoxed back the covers, wispfoxing the cat, who wispfoxed onto the floor, wispfoxing loudly. It was a Saturday, so there was no real need for her to wispfox, and it wasn't like her roommates would wispfox to it.

Yes! Clearly I'm a smurf!

I was not thinking of that! :P

Besides, "wispfox" is just a more versatile word in terms of the range of things you can express with it. It's one of the reasons English is so hard to learn -- there's a whole chapter on it in most ESL textbooks.

Yes! I should not have read through the comments before responding, though, because now I want to get all creative about my yes, but lack the brain function to do it. Bah.

[wispfox.livejournal.com]

Yay, verb!

[starandrea.livejournal.com]

::ponders:: I think of you as a feeling, actually.

[wispfox.livejournal.com]

Oooh. Cool.

One can sometimes have feelings that are also verbs...

Is it time for the "What Part of Speech Are You?" quiz?

It wouldn't work anyway, everyone would just pick the questions that they think will make them prepositions.

[wispfox.livejournal.com]

Or punctuation!

[deyo.livejournal.com]

You got "plaid" on the "what color are you" test again, didn't you?

[the-xtina.livejournal.com]

HOLY CATS THAT'S ACTUALLY A QUIZ (http://www.quizilla.com/users/myheadphones2/quizzes/What%20Part%20of%20Speech%20are%20you?/).

I'm a noun, incidentally.

[zebediah.livejournal.com]

I wispfox.
We wispfox.
You wispfox.
He, she, or it wispfoxes.
They wispfox.

works for me.

(sorry for the lack of actual content. I am stressed and needed a break, and you have entertained me. My first thought was, in fact, Buckminster Fuller too, because it's from the intro to Godspell)

[wispfox.livejournal.com]

I am entirely happy to be a form of an entertaining break. Glad to have helped! :)
