I think it isn't worth worrying about. You can't control it and language
evolves as language evolves.

Permaculture is generally used as a noun. But in english, we are always
turning
nouns into verbs, and I was wondering how people felt about using
permaculture
as a verb.

e.g. "Permaculture that planet!" (actually, that would be a command
imperative.)

or "you too can permaculture your yard."

Adjective

The "Permacultured Kitchen"

Adverb

I would like to work permaculturally for several years.

I am curious as to other's thoughts on this. Does this vocal evolution
detract
from understanding permaculture as a whole systems approach to design?
