Maybe it's just me, but hate reading through EULAs for Blizzard, LoL, whatever and see "login" used as a verb. As a noun, that's fine. But is this officially a thing now?

2 RepliesWhat verb are you supposed to use when you log in to a website, if not "log in"?

4 RepliesSo...it's not okay to say "I need to login."? Is it not a verb in that situation? Like jump and pee in "I need to jump" "I need to pee"?

"I login." There is a subject and a verb, because it makes sense, so yes it is a verb.

"I'm logging in now."

People read EULAs?

Anybody else notice the grammatical errors on that website? Ironic.

I've never seen someone use "login" as a verb.

I believe I might be one of those who use it as a verb. Sounds like it could be a verb to me, IMO. :)

I log in using my login.

4 RepliesHm, not sure I've often [i]seen[/i] it used, but I've often heard it. But am I hearing "login" or "log in", I don't know. Either way, language evolves -- it must -- and these sorts of resistive efforts are silly.
