Would like to know

Has "burglarized" been made a word while I wasn't looking? Has it become ok, at least for Americans, to pretend you need to verbify the noun, rather than using the perfectly good verb from which the noun originally sprang? (Or the other way round. I don't much care.) Why do I keep seeing this acyrological* abomination in print? Who said it was allowed? And why weren't they immediately smacked down by the Subs of Wrath?

Postscript: apparently it is acceptable US usage, which tells you all you need to know. Bloody flatulopetic* Yanks.
