This sentence fragment above came to me in an email.

My skin was immediately tasked with crawling and my blood was tasked with boiling.
I was also tasked with paying no attention to the rest of the email because the writer had been tasked, I assume, in school with learning the difference between a noun and a verb but decided to ignore the "lessoning" he received.

If you speak English, please speak it properly, unless you use slang or a colloquialism or a broken phrase for effect.
