[Elecraft] "build" is not a noun

[Darwin, Keith]

I too am concerned about the erosion of English, but "build" as a noun
does not bother me (or Webster for that matter).

"Got" really bothers me.  The worst is "American's Got Talent".  Sheesh,
gimme a break.  It should be "America has talent".  America may have
talent, but with a title like that, it makes sound like idiots ... I
think the show actually is a take-off of a show if the same "got" name
from the UK??

Waaaay OT.  Don't get me started complaining about the US media's
coverage of the Olympics LOL!

Please help the English language maintain some

little bit of coherence and do not use "build" as 

a noun, as in "Did we do a build today?"

Better and already established as English,

and not techno-speak, is "Did you build it today?"

Is Eubonics next?

Thanks so much,  73
