Hi, Mike Powell!
I read your message from 21.02.2024 15:28

 MP>>> It can also mean to attach a message to a physical cork bulletin
 MP>>> board, wall, fencepost, telephone pole, etc., such as "I posted a
 MP>>> for sale flyer on the break room bulletin board" or "I posted the
 MP>>> lost pet flyers to several phone poles in the neighborhood."

 ak>> I see. And indeed any noun in English can be converted into a
 ak>> verb. So, if we ve a lamp post we can post a message. ;-)

 MP> This is correct. ;) There are some nouns that convert to verbs
 MP> better than others, but that has never stopped (American) English
 MP> speakers from trying to convert them all.

Can we fence a message? :)

Bye, Mike!
