"Genociding" isn't a word.
Verbing weirds language.
everything that people say is a word, and if it's said enough it ends up in the dictionary. unless you're editing a professional paper for grammar and spelling there's no point to be made here. everything people say is a word. you understood what they meant, didn't you?
I guess the years of learning grammar and being tested on it were waste, then. As long as I can barely glean intent, then its fine.
Sorry, rolled Chaotic Evil on my comment reply alignnment chart.
Thanks for the correction.
See how easy that is?
This sounds like reductio ad absurdum from a monoglot. Try living in a culture where you need a foreign language and you'll begin to see the levels of nuance in understanding speech.
