Gawd people struggle with modal verbs, don't they? I'm thinking specifically of "log in" the verb vs "login" the noun.

Somehow Hargreaves Lansdown manage to get it exactly back to front: they urge you to login(??), and then when you've successfully loginned, they tell you that your last log in(??) was 25/05/2022. According to google "your last login" occurs 9 million times but "last log in" only one thirtieth as frequently, but clearly HL didn't get the memo.

You've metaphorically made my eyes bleed and my head hurt.

I believe I was "loginned" once following a strenuous karaoke session of "I'm Alright" (the theme from Caddyshack - and really it deserves more than that)

My eyes bleeded too. Someone should share them a dictionary.

Edit: Omg - many apologies
