"It's a lot faster microwaving your food than stoving it."
Which made me wonder why microwaving managed to become a verb, but stoving didn't. Mopping did, but brooming didn't. Shampooing did, but toothpasting didn't. Drumming did, but pianoing didn't. Tacking did, but magneting didn't. Batting did, but gloving didn't. Biking did, but scootering didn't. Boating did, but carring didn't. Waxing did, but razoring didn't.
Ah, English. You are such an enigma.
I think I'm done computering for the night. Time for some pillowing.
