Knowledge of verbs no possession by most American laypeople. For them, picture of happiness: beer plentiful, couch comfy, large-screen television. Their speech: “Verb? What that? Huh? Hey … me on TV?” So, for life easier and more efficient, and, marginally, more fun, elimination of verbs necessary. For those who possession of persistence in verb usage: ostracization necessary. No speech from us to them, but for “VERBS BAD! YOU VERB USAGE POSSESSION! OSTRACIZATION NECESSARY!” as reminder of transgression.
Oh yeah, they may talk about eliminating verbs, but no one will do it, because… that would be DOING something!
