I know we live in a world where "gift" has become a verb, but stars are paying tribute to David Bowie, as are fans outside NYTW.

What is your point, FindingNamo? That tribute as a noun is a newfangled construction? Because it's not. And neither is paying tribute.

But maybe you mean something else. Did someone suggest it was a verb or use it as such?

I imagine he's referring this site's headline, near the top of this page: "Fans Tribute David Bowie Outside of LAZARUS"

Or it can mean "here is the fans' tribute....." in which case it makes sense.

Yesterday's vid clip headline said, Lena Hall Tributes David Bowie.

I'm just gifting BWW some copy editing.

This is not even the first time I've seen this use of "tribute" in a BWW story. It may have been used by the same writer as well, Mr. Walter McBride. Unless his editor wrote the headline. Do they even have editors here?

This is a site that named its mobile site its "wireless" site, so I think maybe they're not so good with the language in these parts. Or the coding.

I come to praise BWW, not to bury it. It's my con-tribute.

They need Patti Murin to run things. She's so wise, you know.
