Re: How do you build a building?Posted by Acme on September 24, 2004 In Reply to: Re: How do you build a building? posted by Smokey Stover 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?" I bet the Goddess knows the answer to that one.
