is "fellowship" a verb?

[1337 k4th0l1x0r]

Using 'fellowship' as a verb isn't the worst one. IMO, the worst one is 'conversate,' especially used in its participle form. For example, "I was conversating with my friend." Grrrrrr

Or when people say "anyways."

Fellowship isn't a verb. Even though some nouns are also verbs, the suffix "-ship" means

1.
a. Quality, state, or condition: [i]scholarship[/i].
b. Something that shows or possesses a quality, state, or condition: [i]courtship[/i].
2. Rank, status, or office: [i]professorship[/i].
3. Art, skill, or craft: [i]penmanship[/i].
4. A collective body: [i]readership[/i].

Mmm, ok, maybe they've included it because it's in popular usuage in the USA, but to me it doesn't make sense for it to be a verb. It's like, "Do you want to come and organisation with us?"

Popular usage is what determines the meaning of words.

That's why language is so convoluted. And why words mean different things in different places.
