Re: There is no such verb as "to ink"
Indeed. This site is a UK based publication and we should resist those silly US Imports especially 'inked', 'shuttered' (when closed is actually less characters) and 'slated'.
As for the last one, if someone has actually agreed to do something then they can hardly be 'slated' which in its originaly meaning meant 'lined up'.
I managed to resist these americanisms despite working for US Companies most of my working life. If I can do this, I am sure that El Reg can... How about a new years resolution then?
For every 'slated','inked' etc, El Reg donates £20 to Great Ormond St... Are you up for a challenge?
