Verbing weirds language.

Tell me about it...someone turned my name into a verb...

Zero-suffixing does weird language.

It might have been a little bit clearer to say:

  Yesterday we saw how compilers zero out registers efficiently.

Or better still:

  Yesterday we saw how compilers set the values in registers to zero efficiently.

Often I use "zeroize" rather than "zero" to avoid such confusion.
