No, at best it would be a participle requiring a verb (such as "helping"
requires a verb like "was" -- "he was helping"). But it's not that. First,
Jeep is not a real word, but a made-up one, a noun. Secondly, you cannot
simply declare a noun to be a verb (unless you're Humpty-Dumpty).

If you think you can, then is Chevroleting a verb? Lincolning?

Well, we had this discussion over in alt.autos.jaguar. I think the
final word came from one of the guys who *makes* them and pronounces
it 'jag-you-are': "That's what we call them here ..."

Certainly you do, when referred to collectively. Compare to the other
collective referent I employed in the same paragraph, "North American
accents".

Don't be such a git.

Gee, Lloyd. I thought all words were 'made-up'. I'm going to have to
look at the Chart of Elements again and see which element is 'Words'.

Daimler (the make) is "dimler" in Britain, not "dime-ler" (long-i), isn't it?

Of course we have British accents in Britain. The fact we have a distinct
accent for every major city is irrelevent.
