the word "error" is a noun

"err" is the verb

"erroring" is a bogus construction that only stupid people use. "errored out" is another one, there is no such thing as a past tense noun, only verbs have tense

err = verb imperfect

erring = verb perfect

error = noun

erroneous = adjective

yes, only verbs have tense

i don't become mlekued when i'm ded

i become ded mleku, there is no valid construction in english to indicate death except separate words like "dead" and "the late"

thus allso there is an error, but there is no such thing as a ded error, it is an error for all time in the state it was when it erred

I always thought erroring and errored were simply born out of computer programming. It makes sense to use that language in that context. Errored out and erroring out: being presented with an error. 🤷‍♂️

error is a noun

NOUN

this is an error exactly like confusing a function with a variable

you can't call a variable, and you can't get a value out of a function that doesn't return one, and if it does return one, you have to call it

Language changes and the language of computers has made a lot of changes to language. It's not the first time a noun has been verbified.

if i accept this bullshit then every time i read the word "error" i have to investigate its context and disambiguate

that is why there are conventions and why you don't break them unless you want to destroy the edifice of progress

your unwillingness to accept old knowledge and try to make up new language for no reason means you have a learning disability, and we should not be pandering to this as scientists
