gerund - a noun created by adding 'ing' to the end of a verb (e.g. "i like reading")
to verb - to use a noun as a verb that means to utilize that noun (e.g. "use google to google the directions")
the gerund form is identical to that of the present participle
"to gerund" is a verbed version of gerund, meaning to "create a gerund" while a "verbing" can, itself, be considered a gerund. the comic above combines these by first verbing gerund and then gerunding the verbed gerund into gerunding (there will be a quiz later)
I didn't get this at first. Now that I do, I realize how completely wonderful it is.
