Valid Or Not?

Quick question: If I say, "I want this program to cookie his browser", then y'all know exactly what I mean, right? Well, at least the Geekpost readers will. So I assert that 'to cookie' is now a valid verb. The question's this: how do you spell 'cookieing'? That 'iei' is troubling me...

Possibly "cookieying"? or "cookiying"?

To Ski -> Skiing
To Cookie -> Cookiing

N'est-ce pas?

Three vowels in a row make me seasick. Two is a definite step in the right direction. [grin]

I humbly withdraw my suggestion in support of Dragon Dada.

Hymn number 473: How Humbly, She Doth Withdraw.

How humbly she doth withdraw,
Prostrated on her knees.
How graciously her Lord doth waive,
His late-withdrawal fees.

Being very much an anglophile and not wanting to frequent another hymn thread Kris, might I start a new trend and suggest that we can change the name to biscuit. In which case the verb is to be crumbed.

Cookeeing, obviously. [smile]

It's the same verb form that the Alliance use when they attack a Empire planet with an army of hairy 7-foot man-apes. 'To Wookie'.

How humbly she doth withdraw
And veiléd her head bow.
She leaves the others to their song:
Sing hallelujahs loud.

But quietly to that silent place
Alone with God to be,
She prays, to He who knows all things
To bless with wisdom she.

// I'm going to crumble the user a biscuit.

...would be a great code comment. [grin]
