Re: How do you build a building?Posted by Smokey Stover on September 24, 2004 In Reply to: How do you build a building? posted by Lotg on September 24, 2004 : Does anyone know how a verb such as 'building' managed to evolve into being a noun? I'm also trying to think of other examples that would fit into this category. : This question has been prompted from hearing a comedian on a local radio station ask "why do they call something you have already built, a building?" Seemed like a fair question to me. To answer a question with a question, "What is an erection? Something that has been erected?"
