If you're an English native speaker, do you ever use the word "minute" as a verb¹ to mean taking notes at a meeting?
A — I do
B — I would use the word, but that context normally doesn't come up in my life
C — I would not, because that meaning is archaic
(Boosts appreciated.)
¹ Emphasis on "as a verb". An example sentence would be to say "could you join us to minute the conversation?"
@xahteiwi it's C. "minute" is a measure of time. "meeting notes" is not a measure of time. so now both concepts are able to be said by a term that conveys meaning without deciphering.
I might be alone in this but I really like intentionally avoiding ambiguity when I speak.
like why not just call everything "minute" if you want words to have multiple meanings? "minute minute minute minute." if you're into that sort of nonsense, just go all in! 😂
