Befriending

[girlyswot]

It's always nice when someone asks to become your friend.  Welcome daksian!

But the usual way of expressing that 'to friend someone' is a horridly ungrammatical turn of phrase.  There is an already existing and delightful term that would perfectly fulfil the function: 'to befriend'.

So next time you find someone you'd like to be friends with, why not befriend them instead?

I got it all by myself too! I thought I'd just bring Young(ish) Albus out for parties as he probably looks a bit odd to someone wh is unaware of his drinks waiter role.
