You're missing an M in that and you have an extra T :) .

Actually, scowl IS a verb as well as a noun.  However, if he was using it in
the sense of motion up the stairs (as opposed to scowling up the stairs at
someone), then that would definitely be what's known as "ignorant" usage
(compared to standard and nonstandard usage).  Trust me- the teacher in my
Principles of Grammar class called my progress "disheartening" considering
how much effort I was putting into the class (read: almost none).  I ended
up getting an A.
