Angry Pet Peeve

Since when did the word gift go from a noun to a verb????
Is it now " I gifted my friend a gift" as opposed to "I gave my friend a gift"
Same thing with disrespect. You treat someone with disrespect-you don't disrespect them-although it appears that this little abomination has snuck in and become entrenched.
Oh and what's with this "Fisher" stuff. It's fisherman for cryin out loud. And don't call the Hatteras a Sportsfisher-it's a sportfisherman-or using the older terminology a convertible.
I'm feeling a bit cranky this evening.
