Anyone else annoyed that “Compute” has become a noun rather than a verb?

Why would I? It’s fairly normal to verb nouns in the English language. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Conversion_(word_formation)#In_English" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Conversion_(word_formation)#In...</a>:<p><i>”Examples of verbification in the English language number in the thousands, including some of the most common words such as mail and e-mail, strike, talk,[dubious – discuss] salt, pepper, switch, bed, sleep, ship, train, stop, drink, cup, lure, mutter, dress, dizzy, divorce, fool, merge, to be found on virtually every page in the dictionary. Thus, verbification is by no means confined to slang and has furnished English with countless new expressions: &quot;access&quot;, as in &quot;access the file&quot;, which was previously only a noun, as in &quot;gain access to the file&quot;. Similar mainstream examples include &quot;host&quot;, as in &quot;host a party&quot;, and &quot;chair&quot;, as in &quot;chair the meeting&quot;. Other formations, such as &quot;gift&quot;, are less widespread but nevertheless mainstream.”</i>
