Ring -> ringing, sing -> singing, bring -> bringing, fling -> flinging. Why not lightning -> lightninging?

The fact is that some folks increase the linguistic fog by making things up as they go along.
My pet peeve, here, is the ad hoc use of acronyms.
I suggested a thread for approved acronyms.
That suggestion did not go over very well.

My not yet 10 year old granddaughter took a 1500 page A+ Computer Technician course to read.
She was a Dora fan, but at 9 Dora is not very cool. So she denies knowing any Spanish.
She is a good 3/8 inches into it. She asked her father that she did not see what TWO had to do with it.
In the early chapters DOS is everywhere.

I am so old all of my stories are true.
