Subject:Task as a verb? From:"Dave L. Meek's User Account" <dave -at- DISC-SYNERGY -dot- COM> Date:Mon, 13 Feb 1995 18:07:33 -0800
Sonja--
I spent eight years in the military, and "tasked" was practically
the verb of choice. My AHD lists it as a legitimate transitive
verb, but says nothing as to when it entered usage as such.
