Is it a verb.... or a noun?

What is with people's disregard for the part of speech they use? Verbs used as nouns, nouns used as verbs.... it is enough to drive a word lover into a deep state of depression. I'm going to GIFT you a car? What about "I will GIVE you a car?" Is that so painful? (The car is a GIFT). What about: Did you get my "INVITE"? Did they never hear of the word "invitation"? And for those intellectutals among us, 'sequester' is the verb. 'Sequestration' is the noun form. Just thought some word lovers would enjoy using the correct form of the word. If not..... then ME APOLOGY FOR BOTHERSOME ONE.
