   LOL, they changed it. You're welcome, WaPo, but if you really wanted to improve your paper, you'd take the column down and never publish anything by Kathleen Parker again.

     Amusing how Kathleen Parker & WaPo wanted to sound fancy by not using "weaponizing," but she's just wrong.

     "Weaponing" is to furnish with weapons, e.g., "the armorer was weaponing the soldiers."

     The word she means is "weaponizing," i.e., "to adapt for use as a weapon."

     Mr. Bill repeated this.
