Burglarize
Americans seem to have lost their toe hold on the English language when it come to adverbs. Nowhere is this more annoying than the (frequent) news stories where a premises has been 'Burglarized'.
No it fecking hasn't. It's has been burgled. By a burglar. Who did some burgling.
I'm looking forward to coverage of the Olympics where American athletes will 'Hurdlerize' obstacles and 'garglarize' isotonic drinks..
/And no, Vandalise is not the same - there is no corresponding verb - it means to make like the Vandals.

3rd Set...
I've inherited some dental problems from my Father (for example, I'm 36 and still have one milk canine).
As a teenager, I also started developing tooth-buds above my new adult teeth; without anywhere to go, they started heading for my sinuses.
Cue four days in hospital, having my palate removed, the tooth-buds hollowed out of my upper jaw, the bone being filled back in with polyfilla or whatever and then the roof of my mouth stitched back in.
I lived on soup for two weeks, and having a circle of stitches behind every.one.of.my.upper.teeth drove me nuts.
Still, it worked, so really I can't complain - except my jaw has clicked ever since (I think they used a car-jack).
/Length is not a problem.
