On a somewhat off-topic note, I’ve been reading one of Steven Pinker’s books. And he made a point of how common this practice has been. He says that about one fifth of the common verbs in English originated as nouns.
So while some people might complain that accessing a bank account, authoring a book, contacting the police, impacting a decision, or pimping your ride are improper English, they’re actually just recent examples of an centuries-old practice.
If nothing else, these people should be told not to complain. They should, instead, make a complaint.
