Funny, I had a similar reaction when I was introduced to the term "key fill"-- I kept wanting to say "key filling" (as a gerund), but I kept getting corrected "yes, it does key fill" (verb acting as a noun without being a gerund). It would almost be better, grammatically, if it was hyphenated "key-fill" so that it looked more like a noun than a verb. Alas, it is not the common usage. So it's not clear how you conjugate the past tense of a verb that doesn't normally get conjugated.

It keeps the bizarre conjugation consistent. Lev _______________________________________________ cicm mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/cicm
