Examples:

1) I had two monitors. I screenshat massive screenshots.

2) I had a laptop. I screenshat all over the place.

Poll: do you agree?

It's a past tense noun... you're allowed to have those on the interwebs

Well we could make it a verb, but just like the past tense of the verb shoot is shot so would the past tense version of the verb screenshoot be screenshot.

Example:

One must aim carefully to shoot a hummingbird.

I aimed carefully and shot the hummingbird.

Timmy is way too eager to screenshoot that image.

Timmy's monitor had strange goo on it after he screenshot that image.

I'm going to write a new dictionary with past tense nouns. There is a need to update English anyway.

Pluperfect tense needs to be represented also. Always liked that word, sorta cartoonish.

You would say that you shot a gun by saying "I shot a gun", not "I shat a gun."

noob.

If you came up to me and told me you shat a gun, I'd probably think you were gay.
