Miss Cellania's Comments

I don't mind making verbs out of other types of words if it helps to communicate an idea clearly, like "Googling" something instead of "searching for x on the internet". However, it can get out of hand, as in cases where a silly verb is used in place of a common, clearly-understand, perfectly serviceable existing verb.

Why trailer a boat when you could tow it? Why colorize a movie when you could just color it? It's cute when children do it, but in adults this just indicates a small vocabulary.

A woman in front of me at the grocery bought several canisters of powdered baby formula for about $47 each. After she left, the clerk commented on how ridiculously expensive that is. I said, "It's enough to make you want to breastfeed!"

She laughed, because she is young and probably never thought of that.

If you look on a global scale, outside countries with social welfare systems and in different periods of history, it has long been established that women would have fewer children if they had more assurance those children would survive to adulthood. Having more kids to get benefits is a very recent and geographically-limited phenomena.

Are you kidding, ron? Women don't have to be literate or modern to know that a period means she is not pregnant. The connection was made tens of thousands of years before the Bible --IF you are a woman, that is.
