I would agree with both of you
It's all good English, in that its meaning is understood by a fellow English speaker, but having said that my language peeve is when people say things like 'I was itching my leg all morning' - Itch is just a noun. You wouldn't say you were laptopping an email.

oops that turned into a bit of a rant...
