Hateful word of the day

[chickenfeet]

Can I just say that the word 'ontologizing' is vile and disgusting? It's bad enough that the IT world has hijacked 'ontology' to mean a controlled vocabulary crossed with an entity relationship diagram but to turn it into a verb is beyond unspeakable.

Clearly, it's the process of making something ontologized; although that only works if it's ontologizable in the first place. I wonder if there's a test to determine something's degree of ontologizability?
