    Haha, but that's just what the dictionary says. I've decided that "to release" means "aardvark" which is a noun. So no verb "loose."

      Since language is ultimately a social contract between speakers attempting to convey meaning, you'll need some people to agree with you on that before we can call it a change. But you're welcome to try :)

        All that was a neat idea at the time, but in this thread you can see for yourself how it's breaking down in practice.
