Correct syntax: "errored frame" or "error framed?"
Subject:Correct syntax: "errored frame" or "error framed?" From:Harvey Kaniel <hkan -at- NETVISION -dot- NET -dot- IL> Date:Mon, 16 Dec 1996 12:57:52 +0200
My client's datasheet contains the following statement:
The XYZ frame includes the Error Indicator bit which shows
if the current frame is "errored frame."
I changed it to "error framed." The client claims this phrase
is an industry standard and should read: "errored frame."
Any suggestions as to which is correct?
If this is not of interest to the list, I will be happy to receive
responses off line.
TIA
Best wishes,
