My own understanding is that both "delay" and "reverb" are actions
applied to some "object" - in the forms of a stream of audio info. Thus
"verbs". So I'm still not clear why you think anyone else would follow
what you've been saying about that.

Normally described as 'adding reverberation' in my part of the pro audio
world. Obviously oh so different from the rarefied one Iain exists in in.
So always a noun. Reverberate would be the verb.

Try to keep up, Dave:-)

It is not the word "reverb" that is in contention, but the use of
the word "delay", which can clearly be either verb or a noun,
depending on the context.

"Delay" is a verb in the expression "delay the reverb" but
a noun in the expression "reverb the delay" Both these
terms are colloquialisms in every day use in the studio
environment. Every producer, engineer, student and
trainee understands their meaning, and the difference
between them.
