Verbalization (verbalizing)

I think verbalization(I'm not certain about this word's definition) is very useful. I can express myself by verbalizing nouns into verbs. But I feel some nouns mustn't be verbalized.

·We'll war the country.

·I'm always computering after taking bath.

·Your abscence would sad me.

·Factory there.(Build there a factory.)

Do it adverbly.(ha-ha)

We're gonna get there trainly/busly/carly/whateverlly.

I guess this kind of transformations would have already occured in some areas as a part of globish even though they are not yet to be listed on the dictionaries.(In fact I already heard some people saying whateverlly)
