    All words are made up.

    It’s an accurate and useful word for describing something that previously did not have a word. Pretty simple stuff.

        No, it didn’t, that’s why compute is used now. Compute is a mass noun, shortened from Computation, also a mass noun and it’s a perfectly reasonable and accurate word. Also compute is not an adjective in any context, you’re thinking of a verb.

          Ok so you apparently never took grammar so arguing with you is like playing chess with a pigeon. You’re just kinda strutting around the board, knocking over the pieces and shitting all over the place thinking you’re winning.

            You’re projecting. In this conversation you have so far:

            • Tried to unitize a gerund without adding a measure word
            • Mistaken phrases for words
            • Confused adjectives and nouns
            • Ignored the validity of mass nouns as a whole

            I don’t think you have even a conceptual understand of Grammar, and I suspect you only know English as a second language
