Whatever happened to the verbs "give" and "gave" to bring them into disrepute? More and more I read that someone wants to "gift" a pen, or that a pen was "gifted." It's awkward when a noun is being used as a verb. Alas, at least one online dictionary seems to accept it as a legitimate evolution of English. IMHO, like the careless use of apostrophes, it just ain't chill.
