"Architect" is a perfectly good noun. In its vaguest sense an architect is a "person who brings about a specified thing".

However, "architect" is not a verb. Systems are not architected. They are conceived, planned, designed, manufactured, distributed, sold, deployed, maintained, retired, decommissioned, forgotten and wistfully recalled, but not architected. Verbing architect stupids English.

I'm lucky enough to be spared from hearing this abuse of language on a regular basis; I do all my development work alone, and all my research meetings are on a high enough level that the implementation is rarely mentioned. Nath is not so fortunate. She has participated in many corporate design meetings where important people talk about architecting things. So she's more bitter about the word than I am.

The reason I bring all this up is that I was reading something today where the author actually managed to outdo the abusers mentioned above. In discussing a system, they mentioned that a person understood how it was "architectured". I'm happy to see that this isn't listed as a verb in the dictionary. What would is mean? Is the system adorned with architecture? Is it a prairie style chip? You should dictionary words like these in the future before you doofus yourself again.
