It seems to me that we need a good definition of “label”.

Most canned goods and clothing have labels. Some describe who made them; some labels delineate how to care for the “item”.

Some labels are good … gay …
Some labels are bad … bigot …
Or vice-versa, depending on one’s persuasion!

In general, every person who writes on this site, columnist, blogger or commenter uses labels. We all communicate using labels. I am not sure just how to communicate with just verbs and adverbs.

In some cases, nouns become verbs (text, most recently changed its orientation); verbs also flip-flop on occasion … (trick comes to mind.)

In the end, I must disagee with the idea of not using labels, because nothing will “get done” without them! Why? Else we will not be able to communicate EXACTLY what we mean to say, and to evoke a specific emotion with our well-chosen verbiage.

BTW, verbiage is a noun, which makes it a label.
