I'm sure word-watchers out there have it, but I was struck by the use of
'angst' as a verb (with the low-front vowel). This morning on Good Morning
America, one of the anchors noted, after discussing some other trouble that
you might run into this time of year, that 'You're alreading angsting over
taxes.'

Not me; I'm just out here Lautgesetzing, myself; keeping an eye on the
Northern Cities Chain Shift.
