#i thought about asking whether you can use beef as a verb in a non-continuous aspect

[coquelicoq]

thank you kindly to the 11 people who responded, none of whom liked 1c, which i only listed because merriam-webster's entry for "beef" includes

4 plural beefs : complaint

and i was like girl since when is it plural. thought i was going crazy. no the dictionary is just wrong lol.

which of these sentences sound(s) natural to you?

1a. I've got a beef with you. 1b. I've got beef with you. 1c. I've got beefs with you.

what about this sentence, does it sound natural to you?

2. I'm beefing with you.

this is for a crossword being published in the us, so i'm mostly interested in how usamericans would answer, but others can feel free to answer as well, please just tell me if you speak a version of english other than one of the american dialects!
