I second that.  Except that I wouldn't put two n's.  I am pacmaning, they pacmaned, to fix that problem you must pacman this.

Then again... pacman doesn't work all that well as a verb  wink

According to rules* of English spelling, 'pacmanning' would be more correct than 'pacmaning'.

Sure we should.  That's the thing about languages (especially english), you just add what you want where you want to, and as long as people start using it, it becomes a word.  What a crappy language, eh?

I will open a CVS repository that we can use to work on our Arch-related languages. We can have a seperate branch for the single n'ers and the double n'ers... may the best branch win! wink
