Lloyd, if you have ever taken a course in linguistics, or studied a foreign
language, or even English (which I doubt) you should know that a language is
a kind of living thing like a society. All words are "made up," just as
Nathan says. A dictionary is a snapshot of language and not an authority.
Language comes first, then the dictionary. Remember when "party" became a
verb? Did we have to wait for the dictionary people to approve it? I think
not. Nathan is right here, and you should apologize to him.

hey ***-clown, "jeep" was not created by the manufacturer! ****** may have
got the first trademark on it, but that has nothing to do with its original
creation.

......you know less about jeeping than even i thought.

Are your students as stupid as you are? And are they as liberal?

Jeep is a noun, but Jeeping is an activity, and therefore a verb -- it's
what one does. There are not many vehicles that the owners of can use them
in a manner that the vehicles name becomes a verb. Chevrolet, Chevroletting,
Ford, Fording, Volvo, Volvoing. Motorcycle operators ride bikes, they go
biking, and are called bikers. Technically, most bikers ride Harlies, and
bikers that ride other brands are not called bikers, and Harleyers just
doesn't roll off the tongue very well, so we accept them as bikers.

I drive a BMW, but do not relate to the lifestyle that BMW operators might
be involved with. I do not attend BMW rallies, and BMWs are a dime-a-dozen,
so there is no camaraderie.

I also drive a Jeep, and look forward to going on Jeep runs, called Jeeping.
We have a great deal of camaraderie, and we call ourselves Jeepers, and we
wave to each other as we pass on the highway -- except for the Harley
riders, and perhaps owners of obscure British makes of cars, the practice of
waving to each other is unique among Jeep owners. Owning and driving an open
top Jeep is a lifestyle choice. People that make this choice can recognize
other people that have made this choice, frequently when the vehicle is
nowhere to be seen. It's a Jeep thing, you wouldn't understand.

You drive a Volvo, and this is cause for other Volvo owners to sell and get
a BMW.

Language becomes accepted when it makes it into the dictionary. Otherwise you
don't have language; you have anarchy.

To use it that way properly, yes.
