i thought i distured.... (if that's not a word, i'm making it right now.)

Distured isn't a word. If you're going to make a word to describe your activity, you can do far better.

dematured?

immature?

that's an adjective, not a verb.


wrong Usage!!!

that's an adjective, not a verb, you jackass.


wrong Usage!!!

First of all, we're talking about a word to describe your activity. That inherently will take the form of an adjective.

Secondly, if you're going to whine about somebody else's grammar, perhaps you should utilize correct capitalization. Usage shouldn't be capitalized in the sentence fragment you used, for example.

But it's beyond me how someone can criticize grammar for a single-word response.

But then, you were always a "special" child, weren't you?

I thought I was a dumbass. Adding "ass" onto the end of various words isn't really an accepted method of choosing synonyms.

we were talking about a replacement for that word in that phrase.

not a word to describe behavior. the act of going down in maturity was what was being referenced.

A replacement for what you screwed up in the first place? How the hell should I know it was supposed to be a verb?

maturing. present usage of a verb. note "ing".

distured. past usage of a verb. note "ed".

both seem pretty simple to me. every subsequent usage i made was a past usage of a verb.

it's not my fault you dont understand conjugation.

Taxidermy is not breeding in much the same way that what you did is not conjugation.

You can't conjugate a non-existent word, and any English teacher would hang you by your toenails for creating words on the spur of the moment.

actually, i created lots of words in english. you were too foolish to realize the wonders of the english language in that it's flexibility allows you to create words to suit your needs. i did that many times.

some languages are actually pretty much locked.

if you listen to people from some countries, they'll use our words for some things cause their language has no words, and they cant create words easily enough. so, you hear them talking in their normal language and then you hear them say "nuclear reactor" and then continue talking.
