Corporatese Gone Wild

   "Ask" is a verb, not a noun; same goes for "solve". You do not make an ask, or suggest a solve. "Calendar" and "bucket" are nouns, not verbs. It's "share", not "share out". Don't ever share out anything… just share it. And I know everyone's dying to turn "gift" into a verb, but could you just say "give"? Why do we have to bastardize the English language for business use when we already have perfectly good words which, as far as I know, never stopped functioning properly? This concludes my PSA.
