I'm old, but my memory is fine except for this:

[Croney]

When and why did "invite" become a noun, and "impact" become a verb? I missed several memos I guess.

[Mister Ed]

1. Right around the time "ask" became a noun.

I can't stand to hear any of them.

[3catwoman3]

2. I detest the word "impactful."

I think it 's clunky and awkward. Influential or effective sound much more refined.

[roody]

3. I still say, "by accident."

Not " on accident."

[2naSalit]

4. Same here.

[Not Heidi]

5. Verbed nouns are the worst.

Nouned verbs irritate me, too, but not as much as verbed nouns.

The current number one on my shit list: gift.

For my eighth grade will, I gifted Tony Rodino my used guitar strings.*

. . . . "gifted"

Impact as a verb is number two.

* I'll have to dig out my '77 K-8 yearbook to show you the eighth grade wills: I really did will my used guitar strings to Tony Rodino. God only knows what nefarious use he put them to.

[malthaussen]

6. I don't like "gifted" either, but it isn't new.

According to Merriam-Webster, the usage goes back at least 400 years. But saw a resurgence in the mid-90s, which may fit the timeline for the OP's other words.

7. I think the newspapers have created a lot of this jargon

Headline writers/editors are the culprits for a lot of this misuse.
