Okay, I think a few might query your use of Biblical yeast Andy. As
for the rest, I think you're being a bit idealologicalistical.

You have to be careful not to confuse 'usage' with 'standard'. It
certainly isn't standard British English. If I can use fewer letters
to say the same thing that's good, but I still think to make a noun
into a noun by adding an ending is ugly if not bad English. I won't be
using it. I really am not an English scholar though so perhaps I
should keep shtum.

This made me laugh though.
