architected

...does not appear to be a word, as in "designed". I guess I'll use designed. Marc
Lots of discussions on that... Google "architect verb" If we use it enough, it will be accepted as a verb eventually. :)

ARCHITECTUALIZED, that's the word. There was post about this a while ago. Ok, maybe it is not the same, but it is still a cool word. :)

Definition: architected - idiot who forgot how to code, just took a PMP class and is trying to move to management but cannot shake off the fetters of underlings asking him/her for technical specifications.

I second that. I have architected several useful applications in the past. is shown in MS Word 2007 as a correct sentence.

Ghastly word. I also hate the use of "authored" where people meant "wrote". Where will this creeping use of jobs as verbs end: "The officer policemanned the criminal."? "The fireman firemanned the fire."? "The lollipop lady lollipopped the children."? Designed is a perfectly acceptable word, why the need for "architected"?

Very few English Monarchs have actually been English. Our current lot are a strange admixture of Greek and German.

"The dressmaker dressmade (or dressmaked) a dress????" Come on .... The English language has an adequate number of words and with Dubya adding to it daily, it needs no more such monstrosities. Rich

Ghastly is right, but it's bigger that just using jobs as verbs. Apparently it's now OK to use any noun as a verb. There's "gifting" ("Due to the economic situation. we're cutting back on our gifting this Christmas"), the ever-popular "impacting" ("The economy is impacting our gifting"). and so many more. I blame the bidnessmen. They like to invent their own language and then use it to impress other bidnessmen. They are needlessly upsizing the language, the result of which is downsizing the meaning of everything they say. People just need to stop verbing nouns, period.
