This issue does interest me ......

But not enough it seems that you would take the time to listen to the
examples which I recorded.

You seem to either have not read or have forgotten what I wrote about that.
Should I repeat/quote it to aid you? The central point was that your set of
'examples' doesn't actually explain and resolve the problems with your
initial assertion. Indeed, they made things worse in that respect since you
had *more* that two 'different' process-flow examples whilst your initial
statement used just two terms in two orders. (You also don't seem to have
replied to my point about using different variable values from one example
to another also clouding the issue. Nor to my asking you to identify which
example(s) you gave used "delay" as a "noun".)

Until you do listen, this discussion is going round in circles.

Perhaps you have not realised that I'm not saying that the examples you
gave would not sound "different". My questions are all about your use
of language in the first place. As I point out above you (more than two)
examples actually would only made the ambiguity worse - as may also your
later adoption of "noun"/"verb" that was not indicated in any way in
your original statement - nor since identified with any of the examples
you posted.

I'm afraid I am coming to the conclusion that you haven't actually
understood the points I made. If you do, you can answer my questions easily
enough *if* you choose to do so.

Not doing so is a shame. It is perhaps a sign that the ambiguity in your
wording is also in your mind. That is one of the problems with people using
"jargon" and assuming others will understand it without any explanation.

An alternative, I guess, is that you simply may not want to admit that your
original wording was ambiguous and so would simply muddle people who
didn't have your *hidden* changes in word meanings pre-defined and flagged
for them.

Slainte,

Jim
