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.

this makes way more sense, or is it since, or cents?

English needs to be updated.

Some suggestions:

1. Remove the verb "to be".
Instead of "This car is expensive" it would be "This car expensive"
The word "is" adds no meaning.

2. No more past and future tenses for words.
Instead of "I ran to the store yesterday" it would be "I run to the store yesterday"

3. Modifiers should appear after the word they modify similar to spanish.
Instead of "Yesterday, I adopted this very cute dog" it would be "Yesterday, I adopt dog cute very this"

We should work towards making enlish follow these rules.

Screenshot is a noun. It doesn't have a past tense anymore than "stadium" does...

You weren't serious when you said that were you, OP? You got embarrassed either way.
