Search the word 'molestation' on nairaland and you will find a lot of places where it is used as a verb. 'Molestation' is a noun, the verb is 'Molest'. Therefore, a man can only molest a woman and not molestation a woman.

I noticed this has been going on for a while but it is difficult to ignore it (I almost doubted the basic knowledge that most words that end with 'tion' are nouns, but thank God the dictionary proved I haven't lost my mind).

My 2cents, please no diatribes or abuse.

I've also noticed d stuff........."she was molestation "....just dunno wat might possibly cause it

If u type the word RA*PE on nairaland without '*' it will turn to molestation, that explains why "she was rap*ed" turned to "she was molestation", and thesame thing goes for words like: fvck, bre*ast, ni*pples, orga*sm, vag*ina, shi*t and so on.

Even e.r.e.c.t.i.o.n. turns to a.t.t.e.n.t.i.o.n.

I see, it makes sense now. Thanks for the explanation. The word R*APE can be a noun and a verb but Nairaland in converting it always assumes it is being used as a noun hence molestation even in cases when it should be molested. Raped
