The install was successful

0 Hi,02br
00the 01i00install02i00 was successful. You don't have to reboot during the 01i00install02i00. Shouldn't it be 01i00installation02i00? I see "install" used that way very very frequently. I'm afraid it is Engrish (a common mistake) that now most people make, and so it has actually become a synonym for "installation". 02br
00Thanks 050010id1

0 I see. But I'm not really sure of that. You know, in certain fields (IT, Computer Science), there are a lot of non-native speakers, so sometimes it is difficult to say what's really correct. I think "install" is a mistake, but it is made so often (by non-natives) that is has become acceptable, and natives started to use that form as well.02br
00That's just what I feel... In any cas
