A WTF moment

I just had a WTF moment. A colleague, who I have the greatest respect for in terms of domain knowledge, but who, frankly cannot speak or write English better than me, pointed out a grammatical mistake involving a ‘transient verb.’ Right enough, I went WTF! Mind you, this guy cannot speak better than me, or write, but ‘knows’ the English language more than I will ever care to.
I promptly went to Google and have since added to my repertoire the understanding of the transient verb. Whether I will be able to recognize one now remains to be seen.
