You are correct insofar as language is a living, changing thing. But what's the point of using &quot;architecting&quot; where &quot;organizing&quot; makes as much sense? Using &quot;architect&quot; as a verb is nothing more than a goofy trend. It doesn't lend any useful shades of meaning, it's awkward, and it just screams out &quot;I think I'm smarter than you,&quot; but really says &quot;I can't be bothered to use simple, clear language. Hemingway would barf up a kidney if he read this discussion.</description>

					<description>Kevin,

What makes a word &quot;real&quot;?

Less than a century ago, &quot;email&quot; and &quot;internet&quot; weren't &quot;real&quot; words.  Once upon a time, &quot;beautiful&quot; wasn't a &quot;real&quot; word.

Using &quot;architect&quot; as a verb is convenient, expressive, and meaningful.  People may say that it's not a &quot;real&quot; word, but any english speaker still knows what it means.  If you ask me, that makes it plenty real.

English is as she is spoke.</description>

					<description>Kevin, check the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&amp;#38;q=Architecting+CSS&amp;#38;btnG=Google+Search&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Google search results for &amp;#8220;Architecting CSS&amp;#8221;&lt;/a&gt;: you will see this phrase in use by a slew of blogs and magazine/news sites dedicated to web design and web standards. This list includes honest, professional, and well-respected blogs such as &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.456bereastreet.com/archive/200508/architecting_css/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;456 Berea Street&lt;/a&gt;, from which I originally heard of Dimon's article. Yes, &amp;#8220;architecting&amp;#8221; is not a real word, but this is a serious subject being discussed by a lot of serious people.</description>
