Discussion Forum—A Way with Words, a fun radio show and podcast about language

Along the lines of "Verbing weirds language," I thought I would mention that we commonly verb an adjective around my work. Instead of using the longer phrase for gaining remote access to another computer (from the computer you are currently using), we use the verb phrase to remote into. This is intuitively built on the adjectival meaning of the word remote, and not the nominal meaning.

So, we think nothing of saying:
I remoted into my computer from home.
I'm remoting into the backup computer.
She remotes in from home twice a week.
