Subject:Functionality vs Function - My Mistake! From:"Nurre, Vickie" <VNurre -at- AEGONUSA -dot- COM> Date:Wed, 15 Jul 1998 09:20:34 -0500
Thanks for the responses - This was my mistake! Functionally is the
adverb. Functionality is the noun - to describe a package of functions.
I'm still thinking it's an informal noun? Somewhere along the line, I
got the impression adding endings like ality, ism etc is a bad thing?
Any comments? Because I still don't like it. The other suggested word
was features. Thanks Vickie
