Verb
Hello, I am not native english speaker but I believe I found a case where this word is used like a verb. See the first sentence of this webpage. If it is true, could you add this definition? Pamputt 14:36, 27 September 2010 (UTC)


 * Yes, the word is certainly used as a verb on that web-page. Most nouns can be used as verbs informally, but I'm unclear about when they actually become verbs.  For example, is "to verb" a verb?  (Current usage is joking, but will it soon become standard?)    D b f  i  r  s   19:07, 27 September 2010 (UTC)
 * ... (later) To my surprise, I see that verb has been used as a verb since 1936 (though I haven't yet found a usage that is not "tongue in cheek"). Can you find some more citations to support the use of histogram as a verb, preferably not just on web-pages.    D b f  i  r  s   19:27, 27 September 2010 (UTC)
