"I think it's been out of fashion for my lifetime, at least in my dialect, and has come back into fashion. To me it's a noun and definitely not a verb. " Used 'to gift' always. I find it elegant. The Stories of English by David Crystal is a must read for word and language fans. Stick it on your Christmas list. Maybe someone will gift it to you! | |||
