Comments on: I am a verb http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2008/01/18/i-am-a-verb/ I am an astronomer, writer, and skeptic. I likes reality the way it is, and I aims to keep it that way. My real name is Phil Plait, and I run the Bad Astronomy blog.

An online dictionary surprises by telling me that in one meaning it's equivalent to "pleat", to fold decoratively. I guess it's just an insignificant difference like astronomer / astrologer or Dr. Spock / Mr. Spock. “Plait” -is- a noun and a verb.

I had to create a very blatantly pandering movie to be bad astronomered. It did more than triple my website traffic for about two or three days. I've tried to get bad astronomered again but no luck. It's kinda like getting slashdotted but sexier. I got bad astronomered a while ago. I had to create a very blatantly pandering movie to be bad astronomered.

Honestly I always thaught bad astronomering was being wrong about stars stuff. Maybe I was bad astronomering myself (this statement can only be false). So do you agree with this usage?

Maybe you could try "'stronomered" or "plaited." Well, it’s lacks the verbal aesthetics of “slashdotting” and “pharyngulation,” but it’s a start. Maybe you could try “’stronomered” or “plaited.”
