"Sketcher" is not a verb.
We're talking about words that are types of people but also verbs. |
Sketcher is a verb. A very special hybrid verb. Just as we have phrasal verbs (verb + preposition) for example, "She put on her coat", we also have a hybrid verb that is a verb combined with a direct object pronoun.
For example, "I am going to sketcher" = "I am going to make a sketch of her."  |

Quite right...these constructions are known in linguistic circles as Verb DOPers. (verb+direct object pronoun)
Verb dopers are quite common and used frequently.
Another case of name and verb using this very construction is Doer.
As a Name : John Doer
As the verb doper: He likes to keep his wife happy at all times, as this increases his chance to doer whenever he likes. |

The pitiful level of english ability on this thread (and on the korea forums generally) is shocking.
As I said before, long overdue that Korea makes a linguistics/language/ education degree an E2 requirement. |
