Is invited a predicate or noun?

Invite is a verb. It is considered low-class by the well-spoken to use it as a noun in place of invitation. This usage as a noun is fairly old, of course, as shown by the fact that it takes the stress on the first syllable, while the verb naturally takes its stress on the last syllable. The same distinction is observed in Words like permit and perfume, where PER-mit and PER-fume are nouns while per-MIT and per-FUME are verbs. But however ancient a usage may be, hoary, age-old tradition does not necessarily confer respectability on it - look at poor old ain't for example.



I don't agree. My Oxford dictionary of 1966 states that it is both verb and noun. So it is neither new nor slang. (Whether we like it or not, I don't!)
Omg! It's A noun the verb is invitation! Ive had that question I donno, Like 10 times and I always get it right! The answer is that it's a noun NOT a verb!:)
