Can you, "Enthuse"?
My English teacher taught us, One can become enthusiastic, but one cannot enthuse.
What's correct?

When they pulled us in to tell us our son was not so bright, I corrected the offending teacher's grammar, and the other two said, he's right.
Thanks all!

I believe it was the great Mike Tyson who said "De animals got on the ark enthuse!"

Being native burghers of this desert city,

Have their round haunches gored."

If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

Probably the same teacher that said you can't start a sentence with "and" "or" "so" & "but".

Pretty sure I've seen 'enthuse' used, but I'm still looking for a 'gruntle'.

Looks like it should've been a spelling question?

It's a word but I never use it, mostly because I dislike throwing up in my mouth. It's right up there with using nouns as verbs, like "adulting."
Apparently, folks don't realize they're stupiding.

A lot of hare lips use it.
