I’m feeling very Grinchy today: small-hearted, green, and a bit furry. Here is something I would like to call your attention to. Whether you are talking about installing sprinklers, software, or a rotating bed, the infinitive of the verb is to install.
For example:
· He is installing solar-powered lights on the roof.
· I would install a frozen yogurt machine in my dream house.
The noun associated with this verb is a word all its own: installation.
For example:
· You can see the latest installation of Christo’s art along the Arkansas River.
· We provide an installation guide with each product, which will help you install the necessary software.
Sad editors: The install is scheduled for 2:00 p.m. on Saturday.
Happy editors: The installation is scheduled for 2:00 p.m. on Saturday.
