the evolution/ evolving
Hi,
Let assume that there is a subculture called "Timo".
I wanted to write a paper about the impact of the internet on this subculture.
Please is the use of the verb 'evolve' as a gerund correct in the following title.
Evolving the Timo Subculture
('Evolving' refers to the Timo Subculture)
Instead of:
The Evolution of the Timo Subculture
I want to turn the noun into a gerund to make more conceptual.
Thank you
