   Hi, Mike Powell!   
   I read your message from 21.02.2024 15:28   
      
    MP>>> It can also mean to attach a message to a physical cork bulletin   
    MP>>> board, wall, fencepost, telephone pole, etc., such as "I posted a   
    MP>>> for sale flyer on the break room bulletin board" or "I posted the   
    MP>>> lost pet flyers to several phone poles in the neighborhood."   
      
    ak>> I see. And indeed any noun in English can be converted into a   
    ak>> verb. So, if we ve a lamp post we can post a message. ;-)   
      
    MP> This is correct. ;) There are some nouns that convert to verbs   
    MP> better than others, but that has never stopped (American) English   
    MP> speakers from trying to convert them all.   
      
   Can we fence a message? :)   
      
   Bye, Mike!
