RE: "install" as a noun?

["Lurker writer" <lurker_writer -at- hotmail -dot- com>]

Sean:

It's more than agreeing to disagree...it's what's accepted in different 
industries. As I've said before, in the microprocessor design industry, many 
verbs are used as nouns and sometimes adjectives all the time, such as the 
following:

-install
-receive
-transmit
-compare
-read(s)
-write(s)

And the ever-present verb: tri-state (or three-state)...yes, a verb.

It's like drilling for oil in 2 different parts of the same town. All the 
shallow layers look alike, but as you drill down deeper, the geology changes 
to reflect the local idiosyncracies.

Others have said it: nearly every question to this forum can be answered 
with "it depends." Too many factors for us to make blanket statements that 
hold true across all industries and specialties.
