inbox
in-box [in-boks]
noun
1. a boxlike tray, basket, or the like, as on a desk, for holding incoming mail, messages, or work.
2. Computers. a folder for receiving and storing incoming e-mails or text messages.
A Noun is a person, place, or object.
A Verb is an action word.
You cannot change a Noun into a Verb. You can Verb a Noun, you cannot Noun a Verb.
It would sound pretty ridiculous if I asked someone to "countertop me a sandwich"
It's equally as ridiculous when someone asks us to "inbox me."
There is no way for me to do that, that's not an action. I can no more "inbox" someone than I can "jigsaw puzzle" them.
Now if you'll excuse me I'll get off this soapbox I've been velociraptor on.
