BurglarizeAmericans seem to have lost their toe hold on the English language when it come to adverbs. Nowhere is this more annoying than the (frequent) news stories where a premises has been 'Burglarized'.
No it fecking hasn't. It's has been burgled. By a burglar. Who did some burgling.
I'm looking forward to coverage of the Olympics where American athletes will 'Hurdlerize' obstacles and 'garglarize' isotonic drinks..
/And no, Vandalise is not the same - there is no corresponding verb - it means to make like the Vandals.

Americanizerations"So-and-so is the winningest coach in the NFL" (not meaning he's best at smiling at people and putting them at ease).
"Organic grapes are more flavorful".
Gah!
