And while I'm at it - "Medal" is not a verb.
Nor is the even more hideous "Podium"  Stop it. It's not big and it's definitely not clever. It's just lazy. How much harder can it be to simply state, for example, "I hope to win a medal", instead of "I hope to medal"  Or, much worse, "Team GB are expecting to podium in this event"

And " no one" is two words. Or just maybe, at a push, hyphenated. But "noone" (or more correctly "Noone") is the bloke out of Herman's Hermits Noone cares.

There seems to have been a new grammer rule introduced during the last 20 years or so:
You can verb any noun.

'Cook off' is my current pet hate.
"I'm just going to cook off a couple of steaks."
Cook what off? Cook them off the grill?

Mooch told me to cook off. He has a funny Italian/Chicago accent though so I can't be sure that's exactly what he said.

Indeed. I wonder if this is Daryl's favorite song? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DVzij4HF4wM
