This sentence no verb! :-)
Erm. Hmm. You can construe that sentance to have a verb, but it doesn't
make any sense if you do. :) Verb, the word, has become a verb of late.
To verb another word, you make it into a verb. So if you verb verb (ugh)
you're saying your sentance doesn't verb. (double ugh). :)
Now you've done it. You've got me playing word games. :)
