Oh, hey, a hill to die on:

“Compute” is not a noun.

Relevant, if opposite:

@inthehands @lisamelton I’m not a prescriptivist, and I suspect it might be who is saying it that bugs me, rather than what they’re actually saying.

@gknauss That's probably a fair assessment.

There are a startling number of nouns and verbs that we only consider one, but have switched (maybe multiple times) through history.

Not really a hill worth dying on for any living language, regardless of one's opinion of the source.
